Re: semi synth.

Drained and flushed I would think. Can't see them mixing well together. Personally I've never had a problem with the HD oil apart from price, but I use that little it's not worth worrying about. If it's not broke don't fix it.

Bet you over filled it, type of oil makes no difference.
