It is foolish to judge oil based on it's dirty color. A good detergent oil is supposed to show dirtiness faster because a good oil keeps the dirt OFF the parts, and in suspension in the oil, and for this reason it looks dirty faster.

Dirty oil means that dirt is not on the internal engine parts.

Better to judge when to change the oil based on milage on the oil, time too if you don't drive so much....also driving conditions, for example if you take a lot of very short trips, change the oil more frequent.
