Look guys, we can argue about how dark an oil should be before you change it all day long. You can't determine exactly howuch oil life is left just by looking at it. Odds are if you're using good quality synthetic oil and changing it every 5k miles, you should still have decent oil life left which is ideal. If you're changing your oil at the max interval then chances are the oil is burnt up and not providing adequate protection anymore. If you want to use the extended interval and plan to own the car out of warranty, do so with caution. If you use an extended life oil and change it early, you'll have a happy engine for life.
