Oil quart foil seal accidentally poured in during routine change

I agree with everyone who said to drop the oil pan. The oil pickup tube has a mesh guard which prevents objects from being sucked in. That means if it made it into the sump it says there, but it can ( as previously written) clog the oil pickup tube.

Best of luck

Time to drop the pan, add a baffle kit and an extension....

Easy couple hour job (if that)

It is good to drop the sump pan every now and then as well. If I do mine again I am buying the dreibond from pelican, it has a little lever to help apply the sealant. Loctite 5900 was hard as #$% to do, some folks have said submerge it in hot water first.

I am really interested to see if you were ever able to find the foil part? I did the same thing (thankfully a much smaller piece of foil) but have not been able to find it yet. I have filled and drained the oil 3 times, checked the oilpan after every drain, looked in the filter and have only found a few small pieces of foil. I have let it completely warm up and idle for for 10 minutes then drained it.....

Where the heck could have this thing gone? If the engine does chew it up and spit it out, what is the path it takes? Where will it end up? Any chance it makes it to the ims and causes problems there? Does it just end up in the bottom of the pan and/or in the filter?
