Number Two engine oil started to fluctuate dropping towards the min. I briefed the passengers on the situation and at that point the oil pressure went below minimum and the Captain shut the engine down. ATC was alerted and a request to divert was authorized. The engine was shut down using the emergency procedure check list and the aircraft was landed. During the descent the N2 was wind milling at a high rate and between 14000 & 70000 and a strong vibration was felt in the aircraft.
IAI Westwind First Officer reported that the Number Two engine was shut down due to loss of oil pressure and a diversion was accomplished without incident.
