[Solved] Deep puddles! I was Aquaman

Okay people!!

2011 lexus es 350 automatic.  Front wheel. 3.5 v6.

I know,  don't go through puddles.  This was deepishh like 1.5 ft. Going about 15 moh or so.

Oil looks like mud. 

No exterior damage that I can see. Wife drove the kids to and from school next day,  but at 60 mph seems like it misses a little.

It shut off right as I got in the water.  Wouldn't turn on.  I pulled it out with my big ass f350!! Reset the car with cheat codes and jumped it to get it running.  Prolly a bad idea.

My question is... is there anything I can flush through my oil cap to extract the water and drive off?

Air filter being check but I assume it soaked.

Anything I missed? I'm open to suggestions!

Also, thanks Scott and everyone in advance. You're all awesome af!

Immediately change your oil and filter.

Well thanks for the tip

So I dried out the top cap of the air assembly box with the activated charcoal filter in it.
Motor flush the engine. Change the oil multiple time to flush out water. Change air filter. Checked ignition coils.

Threw in some iso heat. Its running great. First day. We will see what happens thanks for the help
