O-ring should by fine after only one day, unless you pinched it or over-tightened the housing. I'd re-use it.

Be careful of the positioning of the O ring on the oil filter housing. The last time time I did it I put the O ring too high and it leaked like crazy.

I use the oil dipstick as the primary means of measuring oil and not the bar guage. Don't overfill!

Check for oil leaks after you are done - check with engine running and then take a short drive....
