2017 Dodge Challenger AWD with 47000 miles (oil pressure question)

Hi - I currently drive a Dodge Challenger - All Wheel Drive w/automatic transmission with just under 47000 miles. It's been maintained meticulously since I first bought it at 27,000 miles and I've never had a single issue with it. A few weeks ago I carried it in to the dealership for a regular oil and filter change and when I got it back a day later, I started seeing white smok coming from underneath the car and it was leaking oil. I had to drive 5 miles from work to the dealer with "low oil pressure" warning on to figure out that one of the techs didn't install the filter properly which is what caused the leak! Did driving 5 miles with low oil pressure warning severely screw my engine up? Should I be expecting a reduced lifespan on my engine parts because of this dealership screwup? 

 

Thanks!
Drew

Well, I would never drive a car if the low oil pressure light comes on. Stop immediatley and check oil level. Damage certainly possible
