If nothing else, you will now be on record with Toyota corporate about what oil was put in to your car by one of their dealers. If you do have engine problems down the road (and I don't think you will), this situation will be noted on your file. This may also put your mind at ease.

I did that just for curiousity.
Was told Toyota leaves it up the dealer what they put it....jeez
Sounds like Toyota is just doing CYA with CAFE standards.
Some past stories are really creative...
Some owners were told "Oh your car requires SPECIAL oil" and charged them an arm and a leg for 5w-20. Some didn't get told this until after they picked their car up.
Glad I change my own oil.
