If it's for 4-stroke bike engines, the oil will have a slightly different mix of additives compared with the "car" oil.
It's likely there will be less friction-modifying additive in the 4T. This is because the oil in bike engines lubes the gearbox & clutch as well as the engine, and too much friction-modifier can contribute to clutch slip.
However bike oils have more anti-wear and scuffing additive, because they run higher compression, higher rpm and higher specific power output.
I would suggest trying to get an alternative car oil, I'm sure the bike oil will do the job very well but Scoobs can be fussy about oil

Is Mobil 1 4T racing(15w50, API SJ) the same oil as Mobil 1 motorsport 15w50?
The local Mobil rep says that Mobil 1 4T has replaced Mobil 1 Motorsport. Is this true?
The container for Mobil 1 4T racing states 'fully synthetic oil for motorcycle engines'.
What do I do?
Edited to say Mobil 4T racing not 4R
