I haven't heard of that one... I don't see why you would need to... Synthetic will mix with mineral oil perfectly well (you basically end up with a semi-synthetic blend) and if you drain the oil and change the oil filter the most residual oil you could possibly have in the engine is 1/2 liter so it wouldn't dilute the fresh 4 liters you put in by much.
Basically what you are waiting for is, after you change the oil the tick should go away... If it comes back before you reach 3000 miles change the oil then, if it doesn't come back before 3000 miles change your oil at 3000 miles.
