Narrative:

In cruise at FL220 we were talking and I was looking to my right and noticed the left oil temp was lower then the right side. I looked at the oil pressure and the right side was normal the left sided was just below the bottom of the green and in the white. Shortly after that the low oil pressure light and master warning light came on and started to flash and I called for the check list. We followed the check list and shut down the engine and diverted to a nearby airport and landed with no further problems.
