2002 Lincoln Town Car Repair Question

2002 Lincoln Nightmare
2002 Lincoln Town Car. 79,000 miles Next oil change says due 97,000 miles. Oil always maintained, and kept full. Oil light came on first time ever 4 days ago and now staying on, engine light has never come on. Car now sounds like a more like a tractor than a car. Tires Plus Mechanic says need new engine..oil not getting to engine. Called Lincoln - no help. Call dealership says cost $3,000 to tear apart the engine to see what's wrong. I am baffled. Any suggestions? No more Lincolns for me.

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge,could mean oil pump and engine bearing.
