injector oil /Synthetic-mineral mixing?

Im not shure what injector oil I have in 2 of my sleds.I would like to switch to one quality brand,so my question is has anyone just switched by adding synthetic or semi-synthetic to mineral oil? I have always ran 2S in my sleds but I think one has artic cat oul and the other was the Ski-Doo oil in a yellow gallon container.Can I just put semi-synthetic in it or mineral without worry?

Suck a little bit out, mix it with the new oil. If they separate or gel, don't mix them. If it mixes fine, don't worry about it. Some synthetics will gel with some mineral oils; my son blew up an engine mixing non-compatible oils.
