You can not tell anything about the condition of motor oil from how it "pours out". Color means nothing, an oil can turn jet black within a short time but still be serviceable for 10,000 miles.
If you really want to know the condition of the oil, get a used oil analysis.
One of the only visual indicators of a too long run on the oil would be if it thickens excessively or you see chunks; color is meaningless.
I would go 5k on the oil myself, especially since you have a Bosch filter, which are known to rip the media during some intervals.
I don't normally agree with Memphis however he's absolutely correct here.
Colour is meaningless. If you can feel grit in the oil,or do the droplet test on a business card.
If the oil drop leaves soot behind,it may be overloaded,or the filter may be overwhelmed.
What don't we agree on?
