I'd be concerned in regards to how do you know this is the only piece floating around in the engine ? Is there more lodged some where obstructing oil flow ? Or what if a piece is stuck in the oil bypass portion of the oil filter ? The oil bypass allows unfiltered oil to bypass the filter when starting the engine cold, if a piece of FOD gets jammed in/under the bypass portion it would not close so it would be in permanent bypass mode. I hope I'm way off base but I'd be concerned.
