OhBuoy,
You said your
oil "looked" burnt. To put your mind at ease, smell it. You'll know if its' cooked. It is unlikely and the dark color is from the break-in lube on your round and round parts. It may even look cloudy / grey.
I changed mine shortly after break-in. It has been clear ever since. Most engine builders suggest you stay away from synthetics for quite a while.
Good luck and happy motoring.
