You will never get all the oil out unless you have the scavenger oil kit. I would not recommend running for 30 seconds.Let it drip as long as possible and put in the right amount, 2.5 qts I believe.

The small amount of Dino mixing with sythetic won't hurt anything. Just let it drain and add the $$$ stuff.

I wouldn't run it without oil. Bad, bad idea. If you're that worried about mixing them, I'd put in the 2.5 qts, run it for a bit, then change again. But synthetic isn't cheap.

+1 Remember they sell lots of blends as well - nothing wrong with mixing dino and synthetic.
