Switchin from semi to full synthetic

Is there anything special I have to do. I'm going with Mobil 1 tomorrow and I don't want to mess anything up. Do I have to flush out the old stuff or can I do it like a regular oil change.

Nope, nothing special. Do it just like a normal change.

All synthetic oil based stocks and ones that also claim to be synthetic are fully compatible with standard "dino" oils. No flush necessary. Flushing usually uses a kerosene based solvent and does more harm than good, and you never get the solvent out.
