the flush is used to help remove the sludge/varnish/goop left in the engine after a diet of non-synthetic. If you don't, or won't, flush, then plan to change the filter and top off after a couple thousand miles. If you notice a sudden increase in oil consumption, change the filter and top off.
If you don't flush, you may want to drop the first batch of synthetic after 5,000 miles or so.

when AMSOIL introduced their flush many years back, they found that complaints about excessive oil consumption dropped about 75%.
