Changing oil after running on 3 cylinders

i recently had an ignition coil stop working and I got the CEL P0300. The car sounded terrible and was way down on power. I drove it 50 miles like this back home. After some research, I replaced all four ignition coils and the car runs perfectly.

I just had the oil changed the week prior to the issue. Do I need to change it again? The oil level is fine and the colour is typically dark.

Advice?

You’re fine! Don’t waste your money on another oil change.
