Oil warning light came on lost engine power put oil in light goes out if revs are increased and gauge will show pressure there revs die off the light comes back on and oil gauge shows no pressure at all.
In a shop we ignore the dash gauges and use REAL gauges.
we attach a real gauge to the sender port. on engine block.
and read the true pressure.
the lamp on most cars go on at 3 to 5psi.
this is catastrophic failure. that low.
my guess, is you let oil drop and you wrecked bearings.
but let the real gauge prove that , dont guess.

The only way to find out what the problem is is by doing a scan of the car computer module using an OBD code reader.
The codes returned will tell you the cause of the problem.

This lets the pump pull in air so you dont get pressure - some times they even fall right off .

Do not drive your car any more, will cause major engine damage, with no oil pressure, it's like a body with no blood pressure, have it towed to a repair shop do not drive it, more then likely a bad oil pump , hope this was very helpful.
