Knocking in engine and low oil pressure usually means bad main bearings. May have been caused by bad oil pump or just worn out bearings due to high mileage. If this is problem needs engine or rebuild old engine.
The engines oil pump might be having a problem. Mechanical engine noise is always reason to look for the source. Combined with low oil warnings make sure to resolve this problem first before driving anywhere.
Fixing an oil pump requires removing the oil sump. Someone who knows how can do this in a few hours of work. Alternatively the oil suction pipe might have come off the oil pump assuming the engine had major service some time ago.
It sounds like your oil pump is going out. I have a 98 ford explore and I went through the same thing about a year ago. I changed the oil pump cleaned the screen and have been good everysince.
The oil pump is internal.Unless you can get the oil pan off,you can't do the job.I'd think you'd have to pull the engine on the explorer especially if it's 4x4.Thats a tight fit.Hope this helps!
oil pump maybe tired or bearings worn out, try more heavy grade oil, if that helps sounds like bearings, and maybe an overhaul is needed, keep oil changed reg and just drive it
