Nothing bad would happen under normal cirumstances and over the initial miles of its use.

However, conventional oil would soon start to degrade and by say 5000 miles would not be doing a very good job of protecting your oil. It would be more than time to change the oil.

Of course, with syn, you can get many more miles per change.
