Hello there and I'm glad that I finally joined the forum. Been reading it for a long time, never signed up.
So I just completed an oil change on my 2018 Santa Fe Sport (2.4L Theta Engine), drained it, put the plug bag on, a new filter that I patiently prefilled with oil to prime it (Purolator Boss PBL14461), and then poured the rest of the 5 Quart jug into the engine. I did not intend to start the engine, I just wanted to turn it over to for a couple of seconds to move the lube around and prime it. It has push-button start, but I assumed that I could just floor the gas, hit the start button and the engine would just turn over without starting. Long and behold it fired right up and proceeded to get almost up to 4000 rpm before I got to cut it off. So maybe it ran for like 2 seconds, but probably less.
I am wondering if this may have caused any kind of damage to my engine, or if there is even any way to check for such damage. The oil I put in was Castrol Edge 0w-40 Full Synthetic (Belgian Castrol I guess). The engine is running fine, just like it did before.
I don't know how I could have done something this stupid, I guess sometimes being tired takes its toll. I feel really bad and I'm wondering if there will be any consequences to this. Thank you for any insight.
