Oil Change Concern?

Maintenance/Repairs

I stopped in at my favorite national quick-change spot last night to have a routine oil change. They completed the service normally. About 100 yards after pulling out, my oil pressure light came on. I drove around a strip mall to return to the quick-change – about five minutes tops – and told them I had an oil pressure light. They looked at it. It was leaking from the filter and had been leaking during the time it took me to drive back around. They said the filter was defective – that there was a pinched gasket. They replaced the filter, refilled the oil, and checked the seal by letting the car run for a while and me applying the gas. There was no issue and the oil pressure light cleared itself.

The car drove as normal afterward. No lights. No change in performance.
Sounded the same.

Do I need to be concerned that I may have damaged the engine in the short span of time returning to the quick-change after the oil pressure light while I was leaking?

Is there anything I need to watch for going forward?
