Check that the low oil sensor or wiring to it was not damaged during the oil change.. It will not start if the computer thinks there is no oil.

1987 CAMARY SOME TIME STARTING OUT FILLS LIKE IN REAL LOW GEAR BUT AFTER THAT IT IS FINE

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.

I have a 97 Chevy Lumina. It has 276,*** miles on it. I bought it used 4 months ago. It was running excellent then the service engine soon light, low coolant light, and change oil soon light started coming...

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.

2003 tdi, 54 k miles, bought car new, had manifold cleaned, new glow plugs and harness. car has been driven only short commutes for 3 years. Heavy blue smoke at startup, then it clears right up. No...

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.

It crancks but dont start it has gasoline, mybfrien changed the oil 1 week ago 10-40 is the kind that he used

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
