Broken oil pump, plugged sump, disconnected or broken oil pump shaft. Also, if I recall correctly this is driven off a lobe on the camshaft. I would doubt that the camshaft would wear flat or that a broken camshaft would not show itself in other more extreme ways. Perhaps a broken thrust bearing on the end of the camshaft may cause it to drift enough to lose connection, but I would bet the first sentence would cover the problem. Hopefully pulling the pan would explain what is going on.

What is the most important function of engine oil?
lubrication. Without it, the internal combustion engine would stop working NOW.
How do you stop the oil sensor from beeping?
add oil to your engine!
Can a oil pressure switch stop the car from cranking?
Most cars would not have any oil pressure until after the engine starts turning because the oil pump is driven mechanically off of the engine.
Can the cam bearings in a 350 chevy engine spin if engine was relined and would it stop oil from going to the lifters?
Yes cam bearings can spin and block the oil gallery holes, therefore stoping oil from getting to the top of the engine.
Will brake fluid stop a rear seal from leaking in engine?
No, probably not. Engine oil stop-leak would be more likely to help, however that is a temporary fix and I would not recommend it. Just replace the seal.
Would a bad oil pump cause a car to stop running?
A bad engine oil pump could destroy the engine if allowed to continue to run. If the engine oil light stays on and or the oil pressure gauge reads "0", the engine is in serious trouble. Have it towed to a shop for diagnoses.
Why does the fuel mix with the oil on your 250cc ATV?
If the fuel mixes with the oil it is because the engine is a 2 cycle engine rather than a 4 cycle engine. A 2 cycle engine has no oil reservoir and the engine is lubricated by the oil mixed with the gasoline. Without that oil in the fuel the engine would be destroyed. Now if you are saying that you have a 4 cycle engine and the fuel is getting into the oil reservoir, then I would suspect that the needle valve and seat are defective in the carburetor which is allowing fuel to flow into the intake while the engine is not running. This fuel will flow down into the combustion chamber and eventually end up in the oil pan. The float may also be sticking causing the same thing. Make sure to turn the fuel supply off when the engine is not running.
When you start your envoy you get message low oil pressure stop engine?
Then stop the engine and have it inspected by a professional.
How is the giant concrete box placed over the broken oil well in the Gulf of Mexico supposed to stop the oil?
They said it isn't supposed to stop it. It would make it to where they can load it on a tanker instead of free flow in the gulf.
Olds 1986 98 oil fills up with gas runs bad?
A fuel injector may be sticking open and allowing fuel to flow into the engine after shut-down. Gasoline in the oil will cause serious engine damage. Stop driving this vehicle until this is repaired.
What will happen if you keep a old oil filter on but you change the oil?
That would depend on how long the oil filter has been in use. At worst, the filter could become clogged and restrict or prevent the flow of oil through the engine.
What would turn engine oil creamy?
Water, If water gets into the oil, usually as the result of a broken head gasket or a cracked head, it will form an oil water emulsion. Stop the motor immediately as this will damage the rest of the engine.
