Ricky's probably right; Its a long shot but take off the oil filter and make sure it hasn't collapsed, maybe change it just on a hope & prayer.
: with the noise from the engine, it's history, probably have something jaming the relief valve stuck open now dumping the oil. Have to pull the pan, Sorry.
: : I think my oil pump just died. I ran a can of motor flush thru and changed the oil. New oil filter, new plugs. Start er up & the oil light stays on. Lots of tapping & knocking (didn't have this much tapping & no knocking before). Oil level reads as ok. I put in 4 qts. Has the oil pump gone? What else could it be? This car is my daily driver so I'm pressed for time.
