It's common knowledge that as oil turns black, its not dirt turning it black, its just the properties in pertroleum changing the color when heated.
I'm not sure about this.  I have a motor that is low in power, with a lot of blow by out the valve cover.  When I change the oil, it's black in just a few days.  Isn't that the carbon in the exhaust getting in the oil?

Um, no it's not common knowledge, and it's not true either. Look at the motor oil in Propane engines and you will not find that it turns black.
