Immediate loss of oil could mean that you have a faulty "oil pressure switch" also known as an "oil sending unit."
This part needs replaced after about the first 75,000 miles, and every 50,000 there after. You can find this part by calling your local auto parts store. Usually only costs about $10.00! This repair is a fairly easy DIY project.
I used to own a 2000 Chevy Impala and we changed the switch three times in a matter of two years!
