Almost never!
The lubrication, cooling and friction characteristics of an internal combustion engine and a transmission are completely different.
Transmissions require a quite different lubricant than those used in engines.
Manual transmissions require a GEAR type oil, whose viscosity is higher than the range of viscosity of motor oils, and there are some EXTREME PRESSURE additives in most gear oils, which are not used in IC engines.
Automatic transmissions use a TRANSMISSION FLUID, not oil; called "ATF".
Even different make of cars can require different ATF's: Chryslers for example should use Chrysler's own ATF, called ATF+3 or the newer ATF+4, which is somewhat different from the usual DEXRON or MERCON type used by other American cars.
I'm not familiar with CVT and Dual Clutch transmissions, so please anybody that could help with those newer technologies, please come in! amclaussen.

Is the engine oil and the transmission oil fed from the same tank not refering to the clutch-primary oil?
No, the engine oil and trans oil are not fed from the same tank on H.D. bikes. Engine oil is separate, from the primary drive chain on 4 speed big twins, the transmission oil is also separate. Sportster engines have separate engine oil and their transmissions share primary case oil with the wet clutch. 5 speed models wet clutch models have separate primary case lube, transmission lube and engine oil. As far as my memory serves, no Harley Davidsons have shared engine oil and transmission oil similar to some Jap bikes
