If you drifted hard while low on oil well yeah you did damage your engine. Keep the oil topped from now on. You may keep driving for the summer without tearing it down yet if you don't beat on it but a compression test will be needed soon. You should consider an aftermarket oil cooler and oversize oil pan to lower engine oil temperature. I change my oil every 6,000 km. 8,000 miles is too much in my opinion. Check your oil level regularly. VQ engines drink oil under heavy load and downshifts.
