Narrative:

During climb at FL180, aircraft shook and yawed at same time got left engine oil pressure warning and engine oil aural warning. At that time I looked at engine instruments and saw vibration on #1 engine N2 gauge. The first officer PF took controls and radios and I performed QRH procedures/single engine procedures. I declared an emergency and asked for turn to nearest airport. It was decided mht was best. I contacted company dispatch for landing information and amend flight release then talked to maintenance and notified them of our problem. The flight landed uneventfully at mht airport. I have no opinion on what caused the engine failure. The engine shut itself down so no attempt to restart was made. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the cause of the engine failure was not passed onto the crew. The reporter said it was certainly an engine change, but that's about all we got out of maintenance.
