I have gasiline in my oil pan!!!

This happened after I installed new fuel injectors, and didn't realize that the injectors were not seated correctly. The small o-ring was all smushed up and it even took out some of the plastic spacers on the injectors as well. Needless to say, it did not have a good pressure seal, and fuel poured into the cylinders and of course down into the oil pan. I can read about 2.5 to 3 inches over on the dipstick, all due to the extra volatile liquid.

Question, do I need to drain this, replace the oil filter, or can I run on this and dissapate the gasoline that is in there?

Thank you for your time.

Do an oil change. do not drive it with that much gas in the oil because the gas has broken down the oil and you will **** your motor up. So change the oil and filter.Have you resolved the injector leaking problem?
