Car oil has anti friction additives because engine only oil systems need everything friction free.

Bikes engine oil goes through the transmission and clutch too so using oils with anti-friction additives coats the clutch packs and can cause them to not grab.

Either use moto oil, rotella diesel oil, or any oil that doesnt have "energy conserving" on the API rating mark on the back of an oil bottle.
