Oil change to dark color after 300 + miles

I've owned this 02' 9-5 Linear for about 5 years now and well maintained. I changed out the engine oil at every 5K miles with full synthetic M1 or Valvoline SynPower+ (5w40 or 0w40). I have always used quality oil fliter such as, Mann, Napa Gold, Purolator, etc.
I've noticed that my engine oil turned rather dark color after 300+ miles or so. It doesn't smell or anything, but do look like it has been in there for couple of thousand miles or so. No codes of or light for engine oil and I do have the updated PCV #6 system in this car.
Any ideas what or how I can improved this and should I even worry about it??
Thank you in advance.
Christian
