Most likely the oil analysis will be shipped out. That time frame sounds reasonable.
I'd ask what exactly happened, have them show you pictures and the part that broke. What is your level of mechanical "awareness"? You don't need to try and understand what the parts do, just where they are in the engine and what they look like after failure. Metal parts that break inside the engine _will_ scatter little particles. Think of snapping a pretzel stick. You want to make sure that those particles were not circulated through the oil system.
If the part that broke is outside the engine, then none of this applies.
