Default Foil in oil!

One of my buddies dropped the foil piece that seals the oil bottle into the engine(acura rsx). He changed the oil, but the piece didnt come out. Will it cause the motor any harm to run with it in there?

It could, if it got sucked onto the pickup screen. Or, you could drive for 100,000 miles with it in there and never know it. No can tell you for sure either way. Was it me, I'd go fishing.

take the valve cover off and get it out of there before it makes it's way down into the oil pan
