I had the change done at a shop last time (its too bloody cold out!!!) and the tech showed me the old oil and again, darker than I would expect. He was telling me to flush the engine, I politely declined.

I seem to have read here that some CSVTs tend to dirty up oil quickly????

wont hurt to spend 2 bucks and get some engine oil flush. they have a 5 or 10 min flush. get it at a autozone. you just pour into your oil and run it for 10 mins then drain your oil.
