Narrative:

During takeoff roll, first officer as PF, captain noticed that right engine oil quantity went rapidly to zero at V1. The captain elected to abort the takeoff. Speed at the initiation of abort was approximately 112 KTS, which was the set V1 speed. Abort was accomplished with no other difficulties. All passenger and crew were unharmed. DFDR recorded highest speed during abort of approximately 130 KTS. Neither pilot noticed nor recorded this speed as we were both more focused on the abort and performing correct procedures. Regarding the runway and conditions, runway for takeoff was atl runway 27R, dry and grooved. WX was VMC, light winds. Aircraft weighed approximately 165000 pounds, no maintenance write-ups. Total runway used for takeoff and abort was approximately 3500 ft out of 9500+ ft available. During debrief with maintenance, we found out that the oil quantity transmitter was found to be broken and the wires were shorting against the engine casing.

Title: B757 CREW, DEPARTING ATL, EXPERIENCED A LOW OIL QUANTITY INDICATION ON THE R ENG, A REJECTED TKOF FOLLOWED.

Narrative: DURING TKOF ROLL, FO AS PF, CAPT NOTICED THAT R ENG OIL QUANTITY WENT RAPIDLY TO ZERO AT V1. THE CAPT ELECTED TO ABORT THE TKOF. SPD AT THE INITIATION OF ABORT WAS APPROX 112 KTS, WHICH WAS THE SET V1 SPD. ABORT WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH NO OTHER DIFFICULTIES. ALL PAX AND CREW WERE UNHARMED. DFDR RECORDED HIGHEST SPD DURING ABORT OF APPROX 130 KTS. NEITHER PLT NOTICED NOR RECORDED THIS SPD AS WE WERE BOTH MORE FOCUSED ON THE ABORT AND PERFORMING CORRECT PROCS. REGARDING THE RWY AND CONDITIONS, RWY FOR TKOF WAS ATL RWY 27R, DRY AND GROOVED. WX WAS VMC, LIGHT WINDS. ACFT WEIGHED APPROX 165000 LBS, NO MAINT WRITE-UPS. TOTAL RWY USED FOR TKOF AND ABORT WAS APPROX 3500 FT OUT OF 9500+ FT AVAILABLE. DURING DEBRIEF WITH MAINT, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL QUANTITY XMITTER WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN AND THE WIRES WERE SHORTING AGAINST THE ENG CASING.
