Fantastic response.No shame. Sometimes you need someone else to do work on a car.
If it was my Jeep, I'd try to stay calm, but firmly ask for:
1. A diagnosis/inspection by a qualified Jeep dealer (plus tow)2. An undercarriage and engine bay cleaning. They may need to replace the accessory drive belt and clean pulleys if they are soaked in oil.3. An oil analysis to determine any metal contamination in the remaining oil--the Jeep dealer can send it off.4. Replacement of under-hood insulation if it's also soaked in oil.All that is probably wishful thinking, and I'm guessing you'll get a free oil change and a wipe down, and "it's fine!". In reality, it probably IS fine as I believe these have a shutdown mechanism.
Future tip...give it a look-see before pulling out of the parking lot when people do basic maintenance. Those folks generally aren't highly-paid, they are usually hustling all day, and the probability of mistakes during a simple procedure goes way up!
Anecdotal story: My father had this same thing happen to him at a Chrysler dealer on a brand new minivan. First oil change. Dealer wiped it up and said bring it back if it has problems. Never did, over 150k miles before he sold it.
+1 on the UOA, black stone labs makes this a painless process. It will tell you more about what’s actually going on in your engine without having to do a teardown.
