Aside from my 3 we also have a LR Freelander, today after driving it for about 5 minutes the car started bogging and there was a huge oil/gasoline smell.
We immediately went home, I just tried to start up the car and it won't start no more.
The car recently had an oil change done. Anything I can do to try to get it running again?

Check that the oil-filler cap is on properly. And check the oil level.

Also make sure they put the correct oil in the vehicle. I had a firend that took their car in for a oil change and they oput oil in the car meant for a disel engine and bogged the engine down just like you described. I also had a friend with a Diiesl car that had their oil changed and the wrong oil was put in and again the engine got bogged down.

Like others said, check and see if it was overfilled

I bought the oil and filter myself, so it can't be those. I just checked the oil level it's in between low and high so I don't think it's that.
I searched a bit online and it seems to be the fuel filter.

Can you describe what exactly doesnt start?
Like you put the key in, does the starter work? or the engine wont start?

Starter works, it's trying to turn over but won't. Kind of like when you're trying to start a lawn mower by hand. It's like there's no gas going to the engine.
