2002 Oldsmobile Alero

I put some oil in my car today at a local gas station, of course i followed the directions om cap about what type of oil to buy and use. I got back in my car to start it and it wouldn't turn over. The lights, radio, locks everything worked fine; it even made the normal noise it makes when you start the car but it wouldn't turn over. Is it the oil, did i do something wrong?

Hi:
I can't think of anything you could have done wrong unless you by accident disconnected one of the sensors. Make sure that everything is connected on and around the airbox and intake tube. Let me know what you find and we'll go from there.

NOTE: Since everything "sounds normal" when trying to start, I'll assume the engine is cranking but not starting.
