I've always followed mfr. guidelines, for the most part, and never had a
problem.  I've been told that the color isn't an accurate indicator of
viscosity breakdown.  If you're that concerned, and have the money, you can
have your oil analyzed - http://www.oilanalysis.com/

This may be a stupid question, but how often do you change your oil?  The
service guide in the manual shows services every 6,000 miles.  I checked my
oil the other day and it looks pretty dark with 3000 miles on it.  Should I
go ahead and change it or will it be ok to wait until the next service?
