Oil filter change mishap, what to do next?

I would take this mishap any day. The more expensive oil change mishap on the Tacomas is accidently draining the transmission fluid. Engine degreaser will clean the mess.

 

Simple green is bad for aluminum.
Turns the color bronze.

 

FYI....
The aqueous-base and alkalinity of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner can accelerate the corrosion process. Therefore, contact times for unprotected or unpainted aluminum surfaces should be kept as brief as the job will allow - never for more than 10 minutes.

 

lol a bit harsh on yourself.
Shit happens you won’t let it happen again I guaranty.
Kudos for being honest.

edit.
Dawn dish soap the blue stuff is pretty much safe on everything and cleans oil grease very well.

 

Trust us, you're not the first and won't be the last.

 

Exactly! !! A life lesson learned

 

Glad you got that cleaned up! someone mentioned brake clean, don't do that... lol. That stuff eats plastic like crazy.

 

Edit 3/5/2020: Be careful with simple green...
Per the Mfg. website: It could cause corrosion

My earlier post:
It's been said but I'll repeat it... Simple Green. Why? Safe for aluminum.

 

Dawn dish soap diluted with water 60/40 in a spray bottle. Let set for 15 - 20 minutes and rinse off with water hose. light stream not a power jet. should do the trick.
