hi, stupid mistake (oil change) kind of long

Hi, I just recently got a new 2000 9-5 Aero. I had a C900 years ago and am happy to be back.
So, I'm not proud of this. I was changing my oil, and bleeding my clutch. I put 3 3/4 quarts of oil in my car and went to to the clutch work. Finished that up, took my old brake fluid and placed it in one of the empty oil containers (thinking as I did this that this was not a great place to be emptying this). (I now have two 1/4 full bottles of oil, one with oil, one with brake fluid) Well I ran the car for a few minutes, checked the oil and needed to top off the level. So of course I grabbed the 1/4 full bottle and dumped it in.
When I was cleaning up I realized that I had dumped the wrong bottle into my engine! So now that I am done swearing at myself. My situation is this: I have about 200ml of brake fluid sitting in my brand new engine oil (Mobil 1). Should I be alarmed? Do I need to dump this oil? How can I be this stupid? I haven't ran the car yet, should I do this before changing the oil?
Allright I'm going to go crawl in a hole and die. Thanks for any help.
