We recently got a new car. It has a 3.5V6 engine. I changed the oil today at 2,000 miles. It has direct injection. ( DFI) and uses 0-20 oil. Like water.
Son came over and opened the drain plug for me and exclaimed "How old is this oil, it's black"

He couldn't believe there was only 2 thousand miles on it.
The filter removal tool is still attached to the filter....it was so tightly installed that the tool is egg shaped now.
That is some dirty oil for 2k miles. Glad I changed it....i had a "feeling".
