There's no excuse as I've had Subarus for 25 years... but, on my 2006 Forester non turbo, I emptied the auto transmission, put an oil filter on the trans filter spot, and then put a gallon on engine oil into the engine oil fill. You got it, the car wouldn't move and then started blowing smoke as it was now burning oil.
So, I will empty all of the engine oil out, refill appropriately, refill the auto trans and put the right trans filter on it.
The trans is likely ok, but, did I trash the engine with it having way too much oil?
In my defense, it's been 10 years since i had a modern Subaru so I totally didn't remember that the oil drain and oil filter is underneath some plastic.
Gosh, I am so dumb, but, did I ruin it?
Thanks
