Unhappy No Oil!!!

Just got my plane out of Annual. Test flight BTL to JXN yesterday.
Half way there dumped all oil out of Front engine. New gasket blew. Caught it in time and secured the engine. Replaced gasket and just got back from extended maint. flight. Everything is OK. Lesson learned... stay sharp and keep eye on the gauges. If its going to happen it will after annual!! I instructed my mechanic to install low oil pressure alarms via 337 form. Anybody every have that done to their skymasters before? By the way, I flew 366 hours between annuals and used some 9,000 gallons of fuel. Think I'm hooked on flying?
