Switching to synthetic?

Switching to synthetic?
I'm getting ready to do my first oil change, still need a torque wrench, filter and oil...hehe...But I was wondering what I needed to do besides drain all the previous oil if I wanted to switch to synthetic. Do I need to flush everything completely out somehow?

I'll probably take some hits for this but make sure you're engine has been "broken-in" before switching to synthetic oil. What's "broken-in"? Some will say several hundred miles, some say 1500 miles, I waited until it had 800 miles before the switch.
Let the dino/syn oil controversy begin!!!

It's been 100 degrees almost every day here, is the 10w-40 motul 5100 OK? Shouldn't get any higher than that, except for a freak heatwave.
