Industrial oils are designed with additives for very specific jobs. Motor oil is a general oil, designed generally for any consumer internal combustion engine and has many other uses as a general lubricant. It uses a certain type and number of additives that will perform best in that environment yet has many other uses as a general lubricant. Oils classified as "Industrial" are designed for a specific job for industrial machinery such as cams, gears, gearbox design, dirt and contaminants in the environment , temperatures and so on for the industrial equipment it will be used on/in. For instance, greases are an industrial lubricant, with many different types for specific applications, a penetrating oils, machine oil, hydraulic oils, gear oils and so on are "loose" industrial oils with variations that make them somewhat specific. An "industrial" oil is very limited in its design use, so much so that it may be formulated to a particular part on a particular machine such as a the bearings on an Heidelberg's M3000 offset press ink rollers, it cannot interfere with the inks properties and will perform poorly as a general lubricant, the fingers on a Harris staple binder that pulls the forms down, it cannot leave a mark on the pages.
Motor oil used in consumer engines is much to general to be labeled an industrial oil. It is used in everything from a push mower to a 5k hp locomotive engine and everything in between. However, industrial oils may be used in a large open ship engine that uses oilers that drip oil onto the open crankshaft journal's and cam lobes and valve guides. Also, many non-consumer combustion engines use a specific industrial oil or grease.
In summary, Motor oil is a considered a general lubricant for any consumer internal combustion engine, industrial oil is very specific, right down to a particular part on a particular manufacturer's product.
