Put a volt meter on the battery. You should have at least 12 volts there. If not, recharge the battery and re-check the charging system. Some systems have the voltage regulator as an integral part of the computer. "full fielding" the alternator tells you the alternator is good but does not tell you if the regulator is working. You also need to check for electrical drains on the battery when the engine isn't running.
Of course, put oil back in the engine if it's low, but that should not keep it from starting unless somehow you have seized it from a no oil condition. If you can turn it by hand, that hasn't happened.
