Engine cuts out

I am having an issue in which the engine will cut out around 10-13 minutes into a flight. All the gauges are in the green, nothing is maxed out and there is gas in the bird. About the only suspect is oil pressure around 100 (yellow arc). Not sure what is going on? I can easily blow the engine with too much full collective, but not doing that here. I establish a nice cruise around 100 knots, trimmed out (somewhat), and just out of nowhere...boom.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure you’re not torquing it too much? AFAIK, that’s the main cause of engine malfunction

Don't believe I am over torquing, all the gauges are always in the green. I'll recheck my axis calibration and control setting keep playing with it.
Just wanted to see if anything obvious jumps up on the support end.

After looking over the code, there is no in-flight condition where we deliberately shut the engine down other than the fuel switch being toggled.
I'm not sure what this could be. I have flown the 530 around for an hour without problems.
