Hi,

If it was only an ounce or two, it shouldn't hurt. However, I would still recommend draining and replacing the oil. The fuel can think oil causing issues which can cause internal problems.

Here is a link you may find helpful. It explains how to change the engine oil and filter.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
