When you say "as is mine" I assume you are saying your oil is coming out opaque after 3000 miles. If that is the case then your statement of "...the oil came out clean just like it went in.." is not correct. It went in golden and transpartent and came out black and opaque correct?

The confusion may be that you are expecting to see grit (or whatever) in your oil. That should not happen. It should still be smooth. Carbon from combustion turns it black but if there was anything "chunkier" (for lack of a better term) in the oil, it would ruin your engine.
Clean as in it had not phase seperated or deteriorated it is just blackened as the oil should be if the oil came out golden then there would be a gret deal of problem with something in the engine because the oil wouldn't be circulating as is should. And as for the grit you won't always feel it you can see specks on the oil if you run it between your fingers when oil starts to deteriorate I know that is how the army decides when oil gets changed in a truck it is tested for carbon content and if it doesn't have a lot ofcarbon or isn't deteriorating it gets left alone. Not changed just because but the longest I personally have seen a vehicle run with out getting a deterioration or a carbon content too great is 7500 miles. That is still alot . Phase seperation only occurs when gas has been introduced to the fuel and starts to split and coagulate.
