oil
I know this is a auto forum and not a motorcycle forum. But there is no good bike forums I know of. My question is some of my friends told me that using car oil in a motorcycle is ruining the engine, so I wanted to know is the 10w 40 oil in the bike shop that cost 7.95 a quart the same as the 10w 40 oil in the auto store. I posted here because I have gotten great help on my car here.

I may be all wet but...
when I used to ride, I bought "motorcycle" oil for my bike. A bike mechanic advised to do so. His reasoning: common sump for engine AND transmission. Supposodly, bike oil has more "anti-shear" additives to help the oil put up with lubricating both the engine and transmission.
