How much oil can i lose if i forgot to put oil cap on following oil change?

I took my car in for an oil change and they forgot to put my oil cap on. Luckily i didnt drive my car around over the weekend but i did drive to work this morning which is 20 miles away. Oil got all over the underside of my hood and did spill somewhat on the engine. Can any damage be done from this? Also should i just vent at the mechanic? BTW I drive a 2007 Ford Focus. Thanks for the help!!How much oil can i lose if i forgot to put oil cap on following oil change?It will have lost enough oil possibly to be too low for the engine. You need it topped up and a new cap before you run the engine again.

It is also a fire risk until it has been cleaned up proprly and can cause problems with electrics and particularly in the spark plug wells where it can cause damage to the plug caps and cause poor running.

You need to talk to the people that did the oil change about what they are going to do to clear up the mess and provide a cap and oil.How much oil can i lose if i forgot to put oil cap on following oil change?open the hood and check the dipstick. wipe up any splashes off the engine to avoid nasty smells. tell the %26quot;mechanic%26quot; that he forgot to put the cap back on. Id personally not go back. unless it was an honest mistake. put the cap on, and if you have not lost too much oil, go to the shop and tell him you want it topped off for free. or better yet call him and see if you can buy oil at advance auto or something and get him to pay you backHow much oil can i lose if i forgot to put oil cap on following oil change?Unless the oil was two quarts down when you checked it you didn't lose enough to hurt anything.
