That motor probably still has the break in oil in it. Sounds like it's been abused. Start figuring out what it's going to take to get a new engine. My guess it's on it's way out.
If dirty looking oil meant the engine was toast, I'd lose several engines a year. Idk how one can qualify a statement like this^.
My sno bike oil looks like a dirty milkshake and smells like race gas after every ride, nature of the beast. (Although I'm working on an engine cover to keep temps up and reduce over fueling more)
My boat oil looks worse after 30-40 hours than the car at 5000mi. It is and will continue to run fine.
Truck (diesel) is black before you can blink.
To the OP, change the oil and don't worry about it. Besides, it's under warranty anyway, right?
