Default Dealer put 0W-20 oil in my 2005 GX470

I went to a Lexus dealer in NJ yesterday for a oil change, I asked them to use synthetic oil.
After got home I found out on the paperwork they used 0W-20 oil. Is this OK? Thanks.

you will be ok, but I would go back to 5-30 next change. The 0-20 would have been better in the winter than this hot summer but should not cause any issues. If you have any leaks from the seals, they may become a little more pronounced with the thinner oil in there.
