I suggest that you take it to a professional , if after running the car it runs fine, it could be very well the transmission. You can also check when you start the car, if it takes too long to start, then you better have the timing belt check. But it's hard to pinpoint the problem without looking at it.
Plug the block heater in , End get a good battery for it, get awinter battery, Not a california battery, Then it might start, If the engine has seen it,s better days, End don,t use snake oil in it, Use real oil.
The fact that the oil was low would not be from the oil pump, but from wear in the engine. If it is not smoking when you start it or as you drive, you can probably keep it running by just keeping the oil level checked at each fuel fill-up. As for the car shutting off, you didn't say if the engine seized or got real hot. A low oil pressure problem should have triggered a warning light before the problem got to the point where you lost the engine.
If the car ran after you added the oil, you got lucky and need to always check it.
valve seals are going. when car sits excess oil gets past the valve seals then when you staRT up it burns the oil off then runs fine and no more blue smoke. It is fine to run like that had the same in a dodge caravan 1996 6cyl. ran another 100 000 km. and still ran fine got rid of it for other reasons.
The type of oil will not affect the cars ability to start, If the car ran fine before the oil change I expect a wire from a sensor or coil has been disturbed. I'd check under the hood for any loose or removed connections.
I hope this may have helped,
Tom
