How long to run Dino oil before switching to synthetic

How many miles do you recommend running the RX with dino oil before switching to synthetic? I want to make sure the engine is good and broken in.

Thanks, my searches didn't turn up much readily found info on this. I have over 2k on the car now, but wanted to break the car in really well in a "grasping at straws" hope of better gas mileage.

Thanks again.
