Depends on which Dot you pick. If 5, got to get all the 3 out. If you choose synthetic 3&4, manufacturer says it mixes with regular 3 and regular 4, so I would just flush the best I could. I want all the 3 I can get out for corrosion issues and higher boiling point.
Dot 3-4 synthetic is not hydroscopic, that is why I use it.

I use Valvoline synthetic Dot 3&4. Other companies probably make it, but that...
