Narrative:
At FL380 the right engine oil temperature went into the yellow band. We ran the QRH checklist and the oil temperature returned to normal. With thrust advancement; oil temperature moved rapidly into the red band. We accomplished the engine failure/shutdown checklist in accordance with the QRH. At this point; we were approximately 120 NM out of our destination. Having set-up for the approach; and as we approached a normal descent profile for the airport; we determined that proceeding to our filed destination was as safe a course of action as descending directly a nearby airport. The nearby airport would have required an aggressive descent profile into an unbriefed; unfamiliar airport. This would have required numerous turns while single engine as opposed to one 30 degree turn onto final at [our destination]. The rest of the flight was unremarkable.
