its a stock gauge and the gauge always bounced around and was never accurate so i didnt really pay attention to it when it just dropped completely but then the actual oil light came on then it crapped out.

I don't know what you're expecting us to tell you. You KNEW there was a problem with the car, no oil pressure, yet you continued to drive it. Good luck.

Uhh, yeah... If you drove for 3 mins with the oil light on, your bottom end is toast. Any loud rattling, clanging or banging when the motor sputtered out and died?

im inclined to agree with matt here, just assuming its a faulty guage is a bad idea, cause what if your wrong? and in this case it appears you were.
although i do with you the best of luck in getting whatever the issue bmay be resolved

the best way for me to describe how it died would be the exact noise a car makes when your trying to teach someone how to drive a stick and they just pop the clutch and it dies it still turns over and everything nothing is knocking or clicking when it turns over
