2002 Civic EX No Oil Pressure

2002 Civic EX 117K miles. Always has ran great - no problems - well maintained. Eng light illuminated accompanied by low oil pressure light. Engine vibrated. Shut down immediately. Oil level normal. Pulled oil filter. NO OIL in oil filter. I am assuming that this is not a false indication and there indeed is no oil pressure because of this find. I can put a gage on it but would rather not run it again. How tough is it to change and do they go bad much? I wouldn't think there is many other options except maybe oil pump inlet clogged? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE - EBD2 CODE P1361 TOP DEAD CENTER SENSOR FAULT - I interogated the EBD2 with a borrowed code scout. So if this sensor down by the timing belt is bad I am not sure how that correlates with the low oil pressure warning.

Re: 2002 Civic EX No Oil Pressure

could be an oil pump failure, unfortunately if the oil light came on already, the engine more than likely is dead. i doubt it would even start again even after fixing the problem. are you sure its a mechanical problem? i never have oil come out of my filter when doing oil changes. but if you said the car shut off, its prolly serious.
