By "Big oil mess" do you mean oil sprayed all over the engine bay!? Because you could've gotten oil all inside of the alternator if there was enough of it.

Any codes? Does it crank but not fire up?

Wow, You obviously put fresh oil back in right? Did the car shut itself off or did you turn it off?
