I think the main problem I have with your original post is that you based the Oil's life on the color of it, when in fact the color of your Engine oil has very little to do with how it is holding up as has been proven on other forums by forum members who regularly have their oil tested by a lab.
The Sulfur content in the gas for your area might indeed be an issue, however the blackness of the oil means absolutely nothing in terms of whether or not it is bad or not.
Also remember that the actual dealerships make money on the changing of your oils/and other fluids, and this is in fact where they make the MOST profit.
If you're worried about it, then have it changed every 3-4k and be done with it, but as someone who is "supposed" to have more knowledge than most, I find you using the degree that your are "studying" for to lend credence to something that is totally false, a bit worrisome to say the least.
