Oil will turn black as it cleans, or just from every day usage. Is it possible your engine is hard on oil? Or did it have previous sludge problems? I really wouldn't be concerned about an engine turning the oil dark quickly.

Get a used oil analysis done ... that will let you know if you have a problem.
