Addressing only this from your post - oil color is not indicative of how "worn" or "dirty" the oil is. Oil holds particulates in suspension and this changes the color - it means the oil is functioning as intended.

Talk to someone running a diesel (like me) and they'll tell you that their oil is darker than a black steer's ass on a moonless prairie night after 500 miles. But its still good for 10,000 miles.
