Run without air cleaner

Tonite I forgot I had taken my air cleaner out to wash it out and I drove around for maybe about 40 mins total tonite. How bad is that? If I change the oil soon, you guys think I will be ok?

its not the oil that gets crappy, its the engine and you sucking in crap like bugs and dirt.

if it was night time, shouldnt be tooo bad.. but nothing u can do about it now except put the filter back and be more careful.

Should be fine as long as it wasn't dusty. To late now can't do anything about now, don't even worry about it.
