No distance! You can seize up the engine and require a total engine replacement. Don't even run the engine, but get a qualified individual to look at it. You may simply need to add oil to the engine.

How does a car drive with low engine oil?

The real key here is "OIL PRESSURE" The car will drive and not be damaged as long as there is enough oil to keep the lubrication system working correctly, usually shown on the dash as oil pressure. The oil level will eventually fall low enough that the oil pump will no longer make pressure and the engine will be completely ruined in less than a minute.

The oil pressure light comes on if the car is out of oil, or the oil pressure sending unit is malfunctioning. Check oil level, if oil is up to fill level then your oil pump is bad. DO NOT DRIVE the car. Have it towed to a Jaguar dealership or other reputable garage.
