Default Mixing Oils...

Took the car to the Honda dealership for a checkup, they apparently topped off my engine oil (half a quart). Question is, if they made a mistake and used 5W20 or 5W30 instead of the 10W30, is the car going to be ok? Or should I flush and refill? I'm in Cali btw, so I don't need the 5W....
