Not true. Automotive engine oils contain friction modifiers and some contain moly. This will effect the clutch performance in wet clutch applications. You are much better off using motorcycle specific oil. Even though it costs more than automotive oil, you only need to buy 2 quarts. The way I look at it, it's cheaper to spend a few more bucks on the correct oil than replacing the clutch prematurely.
