First, there's no such thing as a stupid question ! OK ?
I do not know at this time if your car has a hydraulic clutch system. If it does, yes then it would use hydraulic fluid to make the system operate. An easy way to confirm this would be to look under the hood in the engine compartment just below the windshield on the driver's side mounted to the firewall you would see two plastic reservoirs with screw on caps. The outer one should be for the hydraulic clutch system and the other one would be for the brake system (master cylinder). They should be labeled. Also, did you check your owners manual?
Where did you get the oil change done?
It may be coincidence, or maybe someone might have accidentally upset something at the time of the oil change.
You stated the car died. Were you able to get it restarted?
Were you able to check the oil level in the engine?
Will be waiting for your reply. Thanks, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hanky
