It's the fuel (as well as the battery).
After 2 years, the fuel in the tank has almost certainly gone bad. It's most probably also gummed up your fuel injectors.
Try spraying some starter fluid down the air intake to see if you can get it to run a little while. If it does, but immediately dies once the starter fluid evaporates, you need new gasoline.

I keep thinking why was the starter motor "changed a few times";
That is not normal,as you know; oil leaks do not affect the starter motor much,it is very enclosed,the oil flows around it;
1- First answer:Yes; but...a totally dead battery is a no-no; for 2 reasons: a) it will require extraordinarily good jumper cables,in the order of 100 dollars for the ...

Others have already told you the battery is a goner, I'll go into why:
When a battery discharges lead sulfate builds up on the plates. It is deposited in very tiny crystals that will covert back to lead and lead oxide when the battery is charged again.
However, if the crystals are allowed to sit they slowly merge, forming big crystals. These won't revert ...

It's the battery
Starting an engine takes a much larger energy impulse than jumper cables can deliver directly through their typically-thin wires and the small surface area of their alligator clamps. (Unless you use very heavy jumper cables).
So the way jump starting works, is you slowly add enough energy to the weak battery until it's charged up enough ...

If the battery is completely dead, especially after sitting for two years, it most likely won't take a charge. Without the battery getting charged, you most likely don't have enough juice coming through the jumper cables to give it the power it needs to turn the Aztec over. Double check the voltage at the battery without the jumper cables on it. If it is ...
