Just switch. Drain the old oil, change the filter and refill with synthetic. No need to do any preparation.

even if it has 158k+ miles on it (with regular dino oil changes)?????

Talking to the local parts store who sold me the Amsoil, they had never heard of the Auto-Rx but suggested just a simple engine flush to remove any of the gunk to assuade the fear that the synthetic will adhere it on to the sides more permanently.....
