Be wary of the advice recommended by the article - it gets alot right, but it fails to mention that using a motorcycle specific oil inside of an engine has trade-offs. Motorcycle oils typically (depending on the type of motorcycle) do not have friction modifiers. This is because the clutch on many motorcycles is a wet-clutch, meaning it is bathed in engine oil. The nicer new oils have friction modifiers to make them more effective, which causes these clutches to slip. Hence, motorcycle oils don't have these additives. Now, cars ran fine before the advent of friction modified oil additives, however they are definitely a good thing for the longevity of any engine. It's always a trade-off!
