Drain the oil. The filter is on the side of the engine near the firewall. Unscrew it, and screw on a new filter. Refill the engine with new oil.
First - don't start the engine !!!!! Drain the oil from the oil pan ( and the antifreeze with it ) Pour a little bit of new/clean engine oil in the engine a couple of times and let it drain out Put the drain plug in and add oil to the engine ( the filter still has oil in it so you won't need to add as much as when you do an oil and filter change ) Use your dipstick to check the oil level
No the engine is not ruined. It needs a new head gasket and an oil change after the gasket been changed.
