Engine Toast?

AAARRRRGGGG...

How do I put this??? I had the oil drained in my back yard after warming it to heat the oil for 5-10 min to thin it out and get a good drain. The plug was out, filter out and must have been bone dry. Stupid me did not tell the wife and I was on the phone for 30 min. In the mean time my wife had engaged the remote start to go to the store and it must have run for 5 min or so before I noticed. (The car was still running). It did not seize and the check engine light was on. I put in 6 litres and reinstalled new filter and after a while I started the car. It seems to run fine. Should I be worried that something could break in the near future. What items should be checked?

Thanks.
