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.
