first OCI when switching to synthetic?

So I'm switching from Valvoline blue 15W40 to Mobil 1 5w40.
Any thoughts of when to change the oil the first time through? I figure since there is almost a quart of old gunk in there I may want to shoot for a shorter interval than I normally would consider with the synthetic. Or is contamination not an issue with the mobile 1?
