I know the manual says not to go over 3000 rpms, so is this a potential issue if I touched 7000 rpm if only briefly?

I just don't want any oil burning issued down the road. My last care burned oil and it was a nightmare.
Stupid to ask now, you already drove it to 7,000rpm despite knowing what the manual says. Why?. You should buy a few cases of oil now since you'll be adding a quart every 100 miles.
