Oil Pressure Ignition Cut Out
Also, when purchasing the hose I was informed that all the oil can be pumped out of the block in about 10 seconds when wide open. Shutting down quickly is obviously imperative.

Hummmm, interesting thought: Actually, zero pressure would be a more critical and immediate trigger than low level.
The 928 has a low pressure alarm and a low level alarm in addition to the pressure gauge - I don't know the trigger point for the low pressure, but it is 6 liters re. the level.
It could be done on the low pressure signal - at least to the extent of cutting rpm to extend the reaction time ( and the 'logic' would have to allow a start up delay, etc.) Like any safety/shut down interlock system, it vwould require more than the 1 min of thought given here - but worth thinking about.
