#1, flush that sucker out. just draining and filling with MTL can be a problem with stirring up crud from what i've heard. Also be aware that draining does *not* drain the primary chain case, which holds about a quart, and can only be fully drained by removing the front cover (front motor mount).
I think the normal procedure is drain at the plug, fill with 10w30 mineral oil, run for 500 miles or so, and then drain and remove the front cover, fill with MTL (don't forget to add some directly to the front chaincase). Personally, i would drain the MTL again in a reasonable period of time, like maybe a couple thousand.
The issue with synthetic motor oil, and other synthetic tranny fluids, is the Sychros. Some fluids corrode them, others are just too damn slippery for them to work.
