its a 'top up' its not like the OP is going to use it as an oil change. the OP probably has some car oil kicking about and needs to top the bike up. i would rather top my bike up using car oil than not top it up and run the risk of a feked engine. as long as the OP does an oil change using bike oil later on then all will be fine.

unless your bike is eating oil then a top up is usually near the service interval so its not going to be in there long. if your topping up a few times before the service then your bike need looked at or your ragging the complete shizz out of it all the time. so if the bike is that feked that you need to top up all the time then who cares what oil you use as the engine wont last much longer anyway.
