OKAY... first of all you don't empty your oil by tipping it over on its side. theres a little bolt shaped thing under the oil tank that you unscrew letting the oil out.. so its a stopper like thing. i have the same type of four wheeler, but its a 91'. but then i got a kawasaki bayou 250 06'. My timberwolf locked up after i put oil in it and i havn't gotten around to fixing it because i would have to overhaul the whole motor.... but about your foot shift. i'm not sure why its like that but it couldn't have been the oil. it was probably something to do when you tipped it on its side. you could try getting it serviced.
