Very good suggestions above. You CIS fuel injection system is very picky about having good clean fuel. Don't try to start w/o new, clean fuel. When you change oil, only add 7 or 8 quarts and don't try to fill it to the "full" mark on the dipstick. This mark is for checking only when the engine is running and the oil is warm.

Oil will have likely seeped from the oil tank to the engine sump, past the rings and maybe into the exhaust heat exchanges. Be prepared for lots of smoke when you start the car and don't let that alarm you. It will burn off. Keep a fire ext. handy!!!
