Just because the oil that comes out is dark doesn't mean it is breaking down. If you are really concerned about how your oil is performing, send a sample to Blackstone Labs to see what's in it and how well it is performing.

That being said, I don't see the harm in a break-in oil change to be on the safe side, but I think that regular oil change intervals of anything less than ~7,500 are unnecessary and wasteful.
