Other than the massive cleanup on the floor. Anything under the hood I should be concerned with?
Oil got on pretty much everything on the front of the motor: belts, hoses etc.
Oil shot through the front rims so I am assuming on the back of the brake rotors, etc. I have not pushed the brake pedal so hoping it did not get on the pads. Might have.
What would the pro's do in this situation for clean up and pre-firing her back up. (yes, I have resolved the oil filter issue and filler her back up with oil).
Thanks 1,000,000

That almost happened to me. I was wondering what was different about installing the replacement filter when I realized the double gasket issue. Glad I found it before I experienced what you did!
