Not that I'd ever do it, but what would (or could possibly) happen to my Boxster's engine if I ran mineral-based oil in it versus the synthetic oil?

I've always wondered about this.
Up until around 2000 Porsche did approve several conventional mineral oils for the Boxster. Then they were taken off the list as were some synthetics that had been approved.
