Narrative:
Lost oil pressure. Gauge indicated 0. Engine started to run really rough and so I [notified ATC] and returned to the airport for a full stop landing. Used best glide speed to ensure obstacle clearance and ended up having to do one turn over the airport to lose altitude before doing a short approach to a full stop.
