Flushing isn't necissary. You could put a quart of 5w-30 and fill up with 10w-30 synthetic, and 10w-30 dino oil, nothing bad would
happen. The only thing that matters is the lowest service life of the oil you put in. That sets your next oil change.

Re: switching engine oil
No flushing is necessary. There will be a small amount of the "old" oil in
the system but that is not a great concern.
Back-in-the-day, as my kidlettes say, there were concerns about constantly
switching brands. I don't recall any mentions in the past decade or two so
I imagine it is no longer an issue.

This is a +200K mile engine, right? And you worry about contamination
