Angry Oil anyone?? Made a little mistake...

Alright, I just read something here last night that surprised me, and unfortunately, worried me a bit. I bought this car about 3 weeks ago and changed the oil the first day I had it and was very surprised to see that only about .8 of a quart came out. Of course, being an idiot, I assumed there was only that much oil in the car which really pissed me off.

Well now that I read last night that you should "loosen both drain plugs when you change oil and filter" and "The front plug will only drain about 3/4 quart" I realize I probably have like 9 quarts of oil in my engine...not good!

Anyway, I have put about 500 miles on it sense I changed the oil and I want to be sure I didn't screw anything up. If that was going to affect something negatively, what would it affect?

Thanks for the advice and for helping the moron...
