Sounds like you are all good and happy. Just check the oil level when you tank up. With your mileage, I would suspect the valve guides are leaking oil and it is being burned in the exhaust. No big deal. You might notice some smoke after very long periods of idling or when you have lifted off the gas pedal going down a long hill. Replacing valve guides is quite expensive, there are 20 of them and the head must be exposed.
