CRF300 Rally 15W-50???

Hey all,
I recently took my Honda CRF300 Rally for it's first service with an authorised Honda service centre (in Australia).
The service cost $250, which I consider bloody expensive for not much work. But putting that aside, the mechanic used 15w50 Motul Moto Oil rather than GN4 10w30 that I thought he should have used.
I called to ask about it and never got an explanation, but the service invoice says "3000+ 15w15" which I think refers to the mileage.
For anyone with a service manual or experience, do you know what might be going on here?
After the service my fuel consumption on long highway rides has increased almost 20% (3.6L/100km up to 4.2L/100km) and the bike is struggling more at highway speeds.
