Anyone know the disadvantages (if any) of using a motorcycle oil in a car like the Boxster?

The big disadvantage is that this is an unknown. Do you want to experiment with you Boxster engine? If so, why?
As much as I like oil threads, I don't see the logic of putting an oil designed and tested for MC in a Boxster engine, long known for its fragility.
That said, let us know how it turns out.
