Been there on the Valdez thing. At least you had an excuse with the wire interfering. I drained, put new filter on and poured two gallon jugs of Rotella T Synthetic in it. As the last drips went in I realized I could hear a draining sound under the truck. Yep, didn't put the plug in - went right through the engine into the oil catch pan. A $ 45 engine oil flush!
