I'm confident no damage was done. I'm leaving it overnight to drain. When I pulled out the filters, it made quite a mess on the skid plate. I would recommend skid plate removal prior to oil drainage. 
There was some fuzz on the magnetic drain plug, as expected. I'm going to cut the old filter open tomorrow and see what's going on.  |
Indeed, it is wise to remove the skid plate before changing the oil.
You only need to remove three, 8mm bolts, and they are easily accessible.
