because it is only called motor oil by morons who don't know the true difference between a motor and a engine your right it should never be called motor oil unless it is a dc motor that has oil in it but for a engine ran auto it is engine oil
Automotive oil is formulated as a engine crankcase oil and Motorcycle oil is formulated three jobs a crankcase oil, a transmission-gear oil, and a wet clutch oil.
High milage motor oil has extra additives which help prevent oil leaks.
Gear oil is normally a much heavier oil.
Crankcase or motor oil is thicker than transmission oil. That's one difference, there may be more (other than color)
Viscosity and additives.
No difference. Automobile motor oil is 4 stroke oil just like the oil you use in a 4 stroke ATV. Just purchase the correct weight of any name brand. I recommend you use 100% Synthetic in any air cooled engine.
15 is thicker oil and for bigger engines.
Motor oil SJ is for cars made between 1996 and 2001. Motor oil SN has been in use for cars since 2011.
it's lubricating properties
Yes, they are the same. Some people call an automobile engine a motor and some people call it an engine. It is actually an engine and a motor is a electrical device. But motor oil and engine oil for all practical purposes are the same thing.
engine oil is thick than hydraulic oil
