Yes, the dealership cleaned it up (as much as they could). And yes, there was no problem with the car mechanically afterwards... but I would hate my car (and dealership) forever if that ever happened to my car.
This one time a guy ordered a burger at a restaurant... it was raw..... I don't eat anything I don't cook now.

I can come up with BS to not use any avenue of service in the world with shit like "oh my buddy had this happen" 95% of the dealers are problem free. If you are that worried about it do an inspection on the car before you accept it back after the oil change.
