I was a bit surprised and didn't stop pouring oil... long story short.. I have a bug somewhere in the engine.

I run the engine for a while after changing oil and it seems to run ok..
What should I do now? is it OK to drive? will it burn in there? Should I change the oil again?


Thanks
Sasha
Bugs that big have exoskeletons, frogs that eat beetles crap out their exoskeletons so they’re pretty hearty. I have a feeling the only thing it should do is plug the intake screen a little on the oil pick up tube. If it did go though the oil pump you would hope it gets crushed to the point where it doesn’t plug any small oil galleries.
