To be 100% safe, drain all the old oil out before adding new oil. I had non-synthetic in my 2-stroke sled and switched to full synthetic, the bottle said you could add this to all oils without any harm. Well, I did and 40 miles later the engine decided to let go. Took it to my dealer to have it repaired and when they got it apart they said the oil was just like water. I have learned my lesson with mixing oils, I will drain my oil tank 100% from now on no matter what the bottle says.
