A UPS United Parcel Service Airbus A300-600, registration N121UP performing flight 5X-494 from Louisville,KY (USA) to Montreal Mirabel,QC (Canada) with 2 crew, was climbing out of Louisville's runway 17L when the crew requested to stop the climb at 5000 feet reporting they had a zero oil quantity indication for the right hand engine (PW4168) and needed to return to Louisville. The crew advised both engines were still running, they would perform a normal landing, then shut the engine down and taxi to the apron. The aircraft landed safely on Louisville's runway 17L about 17 minutes after departure, vacated the runway and taxied to the apron.

The aircraft returned to service about 24 hours after landing.
