5w-20 mistake

Need some advice. I accidentally did an oil change using the 5w-20 mobil1 that I usually use in my Ford F150. I have always used the recommended 5w-30 before. Should I change it, or can I let it go for this time? I live in CT. where the temps will be cold for the next three months.

It'll be fine, don't worry about it. With it being colder, the oil will flow a bit better at normal operating temp.
