Default Idiot needs help

Just put 1 Litre of two stoke oil in my car (Ford Ka)-in the oil filler
bit .
A senior moment. Will this cause any problems.?

If you only do short journeys, it probably won't. If you do long, fast
journeys, it might.
To put your mind at rest, you should drain all the engine oil and put fresh
oil in.
If you change the engine oil yourself: It's recommended that you warm the
engine up by taking the car on a short (as required) run. Then drain the oil
quickly.
If a garage does it for you, _insist_ on them warming the engine up first.
