+1, if youre ever unsure, just change it out.
Might be a great learning experience for your daughter as well, oil changes/label reading.

That's my thinking, too. Formula Shell and a Supertech filter to the rescue, IMO. Short OCI and go back to what you usually do as was mentioned above.

Also, congrats on raising a daughter who'll raise the hood on her car.

DRAIN IT AND REFILL! (With the correct oil and filter this time)
Spank her hand and say NO!

Whilst I'm 100% sure no damage has been done, I'd get round to draining it out when its convenient.
