How many miles did you put on it after you realized the mistake.. I only ask because if you go more than 50 miles with "THAT" particular mixture of oil your engine will "SELF DESTRUCT"

I actually do what you did, on purpose. My oil and coolant temps run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than stock and with the 5-30 , the oil pressure ran a little higher than it needed to .
It'll be fine, especially during the cold winter months of Chicago.
