Do maintenance notes from non-dealership mechanics go on the car's CPU?

Please forgive me for not asking a question about a Civic Type R outright -- I simply need some advice for my other Honda. My wife got her oil changed today at a Jiffy Lube on her 1.5 liter Turbo 2018 CR-V, but she made the mistake of getting it changed without the proper manufacturer recommended oil as Jiffy Lube did not tell her it could void her warranty. They used 5W30 SN/GF5 instead of 0W20 as recommended by Honda.

My question is does this info get saved in the vehicle's CPU in any way? I plan on going to get it changed tomorrow to the recommended oil type, but I don't want her CPU to indicate this specific oil change ever happened for warranty purposes. Any insight or recommendations?

There are oil viscosity sensors available but I don’t think Honda puts it in any of their cars so there’s no way for the ecu to detect the type of oil. I also doubt jiffy lube can do anything to the ecu aside from resetting your maintenance reminder. Just change it out to the correct oil and I think you’re safe.

There is no logging off the type of oil.
