Go straight to synthetic?

Should I go straight to synthetic or do a synthetic blend for a couple of changes then switch to full synthetic? Thoughts?

Sure , use a blend for one O.C. and then go to a synthetic . There's always about 1/2 a quart left in the engine during an oil change . So , if you put in a synthetic first it would be a blend of 15% (?) conventional .
