Finding a trustworthy mechanic.
Regular motor oil without the "energy conserving" note on the circle symbol should not be a problem.

Are you saying you asked for an inspection of something and he chaged your oil. You should get all your money back plus the cost of more synthetic oil and filter. Then change it yourself.

Unbelievable tickedoff
More then words would have been exchanged if that was me or my bike.
I have never brought a bike back to a dealer for anything.
Unless it was a warrenty issue.
Not even for an inspection.

What kind of inspection did you ask for?  He should not have changed the oil for anything that was not authorized by YOU. I'd take it back and have him replace it with what you use.
