A Kalitta Air Boeing 747-400, registration N401KZ performing flight K4-335 (dep Jun 10th) from Los Angeles,CA (USA) to Brussels (Belgium), was enroute at FL370 over the Atlantic Ocean about 550nm southwest of Keflavik (Iceland) and about 1150nm west of East Midlands,EN (UK) in contact with Gander Oceanic Control when the crew received EICAS messages "ENG OIL FILT 2" and "ENG OIL TEMP" messages for engine #2 (CF6, inboard left hand).
