have you abused the car? is it heavily modified? is it extremely hot outside? is the oil level still ok?

you may or may not have caused any damage. your best bet is to get an oil change done with synthetic 5w30 or 10w30 and a OEM oil filter and see how it plays out in the future. your safest bet is to get the oil changed every 3000 to 5000 miles using quality stuff.
