If I would be a juror I would side with the dealer.

First off all, the new engine is ~$5-6k, so it is not going to be resolved with a small claim court - it will be a full trial with a jury if you and the dealer cannot agree on the terms.
There a bright blinking red light that tells you if you missing oil - and it is your daughter who destroyed the engine, not the dealer, by keeping to drive it with the light on. At best you deserve a used engine. Since you car seems to run ok I would not even award this - maybe just a lifetime guarantee to replace the engine with a used one if it even develops lubrication related problems.
On the other hand, if the jury consists of the same car-illeterate people you may have a chance.
There is another argument in your favor - someone at the dealership drove the car without oil and did not notice the light either.
