Oil grade change

Is it ok to change the oil from semi sinthetic to fully sinthetic? i take it you have to flush the system first with the new oil.

cheers

Not usually a problem, as Ive just done it on my 8v GTi, and thats just done 99,000 miles and i changed it at 97,000. It hasnt used any oil at all and seems fine. Im a bit secptical about using a flushing agent as some of it will still remain in the oil even after you have flushed it. I used that quantum gold stuff from GSF. Fuel consumption improved a little bit as well.
