    So long story short is this

    And it's absolutely my fault.

    I changed the oil in my Prius for the first time and failed to notice the previous filters gasket stuck on the car. I ran the car around my block to circulate the oil and see if it needed some more.

    When I pulled in my driveway all I could see was a perfect line of oil doing around my driveway and around the block of my house.

    When I checked the oil pan there was maybe 1/4 or less qt of oil in there.

    Literally as I pulled in the triangle of DEATH came on.

    Now I added more oil removed said gasket and put on a new filter.

    However I am curious to know if some serious damage occurred.

    I haven't drove the car for a while due to waiting on and changing the HV battery

    I just drove it like ten miles and I don't hear any strange noises. However time will only tell.

    Just wanna get some input to see if any serious damage could have or probably did happen
