Aren't you suppose to use a new sump washer? I think reusing an old one can be risky as they then to degrade ...little bits of washer in your oil in the last thing you want, I'm surprised you got the filter on without the washer...I suppose if there no washer there and your confident its not going to come off it should be alright...bit of a risk but

For safety get a new washer, its too much of a risk to have no sump washer fitted

yes i forgot to put the new sump washer on, no washer on the filter
will do a quick swap so, take the bung out stick on washer, get back on, hopefully not spilling too much oil all over the place!

Just empty it all out into a clean container and reuse.
Happened to me on the Mondeo before. stick on a rubber glove, pull the plug out, stick ur finger in the hole. Stick on the washer and replace it. Youll loose feck all especially if the oil cap is still on. Just be quick and dont drop the plug! you'll only have one hand to try get it back!!!

As said quickest and easiest and cleanest way is to empty it all into a clean container and reuse...

Washer is there for a reason and should be renewed each change
