The engine light never went on, it never overheated and it's not burning oil.
VPL - just FYI, if you are having the car serviced where you purchased it, or at a dealer, the dealer's computer system likely has all the information you are maintaining by hand. And they should provide it to you should you ever need it

From prior discussions I suspect you don't have a smart phone, but I can use my phone to access the maintenance records of our cars. This can be pretty handy at times

I'm glad your car had no damage.
