Since no OP light, you are probably ok. Also, you said you had some oil still coming out. Which means you didn't pump dry and you had caught it in time.

However, if you still have the oil FILTER involved in incident, you can cut that open and check for metal. Specially chunks. Based on your description, you probably won't find any. Small, singular bits are no worry.

Plenty of Youtube videos on how to cut filters open. I highly recommend AGAINST using die-grinder or hack-saw methods as this will introduce metal into filter and SCARE the begeezuz out of you. LOL.

Keep the filter, take it to a shop that has proper cutting tools or buy your own.

You won't find any chucks in the oil filter. As they first would have to go through the pick up tube screen and then the oil pump. If they did make it through the screen. The oil pump would get destroy.
