Nissan dealer has been using 15w40 oil in my d40

Hi all, since new my local nissan dealer has been using castrol gtx professional 15w40 in my navara from what the invoices say. its just had its 70km service done and i was charged $80 for the gtx professional 15w40 oil which seems a bit rich
Total 70km service cost me $327
Could they have been invoicing me the wrong oil but using the right one?
My navara is a 2014 manual 2.5 turbo diesel spain built

For $80 - $100 you can get yourself 20 litres of lots of brands of CI4/CI4+ or if lucky CJ4 15-40 oil and do it yourself.

$80 for 7 litres of the stuff is pretty steep. Pretty much triple retail for us consumers.

You can bet it's closer or 5 or 6 times what they buy it for in a 44gal drum.

so does the d-40 take around 7 litres of engine oil ? if so say if you had to go out and buy this same brand of oil , you would have to buy 2 x 4 litres and i would think the cost would have to be very close to $80 for this quantity of oil. when i first bought my navara i did buy the genuine nissan engine oil and i recall the cost was about $50 for 4 litres.
