It looked just like it did before the oil change. So my question is, is Nissan Ester oil suppose to be dark?

I just realized I posted this in the wrong section...please feel free to move.
elmz, I changed my oil yesterday. Then, I put on about 80 miles yesterday after the change. Today, I woke up early in the morning and put 200+200 = 400 miles on the Z (back and forth with a 20 minute rest). So, basically after 480 miles, this is how my oil looks. It's still fresh gold color. Hope this helps.

Stop dripping oil all over your car, get a rag. J/K!
