Can you run synthetic motorcycle oil in your car?

Full synthetic motorcycle oils can and regularly do have additives to make them safe for use in vehicles with a "wet" or "oil bath" clutch. Standard synthetics tend to generate excessive slip in a wet clutch. To accurately answer the question. Yes you can run synthetic motorcycle oil in your car. However I would advise against doing the opposite.

How does motorcycle oil differ from car oil?

Motorcycles use either a wet clutch or a dry clutch. The wet clutch is what necessitates the biggest difference in engine oils between cars and motorcycles. The reason is that a wet clutch sits in the same engine oil as the transmission and crank case, and most of the time, the crankcase and transmission is all one unit without any partitions. Typical car engine oils have friction modifiers in them, and these modifiers are a huge range of chemical compounds designed to help the oil do its thing. That's fine for a car or even a motorcycle with a dry clutch, but friction modifiers will ruin a wet clutch. So if you have to buy motorcycle oil, make sure to read the back label to see if it says its safe for wet clutches. If you're not sure if your bike uses a wet or dry clutch, you'll be safe either way buying an oil safe for wet clutches. Always consult your manual or dealer, though before pouring anything into your engine!
