Question 2,000 miles overdue for oil change, should i be concerned?

This might be a silly question, but I have a 2008 is250 with 53,000. I recently had a TSB done for the carbon build up at 46,000. I just realized the dealer used a synthetic blend when they changed the oil. My question is should i be concerned about not changing the oil at the 5,000 mark like i was supposed to?

Thanks guys! After bringing the car into the dealer for the last TSB and seeing that the bill wouldve been $6,000+ had I not been under warranty, just a little more concerned about this car and its issue with carbon build up. Definitely wont make it a habit. Thanks again!
