Low Oil Pressure at Idle - Can I use thicker oil?
Thanks all. I did make it home with no vehicle related incidents. BTW, when the oil pressure dropped to zero and the check gauges light came on, the tapping noise in the engine got louder.
Now that I'm home, I'll figure out what I want to do with it.

Glad you made it but we all figured you would. Ive had the low pressure symptom for around 10k miles also have a tap/knock under light load starting about 2k rpms. I decided to live with it till she goes then decide on the next step reman, jy or stroker. 97 SE 288k all stock drivetrain. Love my noisy shaky go wherever you want to XJ.
