According to the Owners Manual

If SAE 0W-20 is not available,SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change.

The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the
oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehicle
is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

Seems like it should be OK, but if it was me I would talk to them about it and request it be corrected.

You Know this is why so many of us change our own oil. The car calls for 0W20 on the oil fill cap and they put 5W30 in it (probably dino instead of synthetic). The problem is - if you take it back and complain - they will keep you waiting for a long while and likely do nothing, but say it is taken care of.

For warranty purposes I would definitely make them do it again with the right oil.

I called the dealership and told them the situation, they said they did put the manufacture recomend which is 0w20 but they missed document incorrectly, should I take their word for it?
