One of the main things is a difference in bearing material. It reacts differently with the oil, I believe the motor oil is more cleaning and can cause problems with aero engines. Your aero engine costs a lot, the price difference between aero oil and motor oil doesn't justify messing around.

This does not apply to Vw's and Scooby Doo engines in aeroplanes.
