2014 Ford V-10 Dropped plastic cap down oil fill tube

Heres a good one for you. During the process of changing oil I accidently dropped a small plastic cap down the oil fill tube. At this point I'm not sure what to do if anything. Anyone have any ideas? ...

Chanced are the crank shaft will beat up the plastic cap, The oil pump will pick it up, grind it up some more and feed it to the oil filter, for the end of its trip. It will never get into the lubrication passages.
