The most probable reason is that the rings are starting to wear. An engine which develops its horsepower at high revolutions per minute will cause the oil to break down very quickly. Oil that does not look dirty can be shot, because it no longer has lubricating abilities. For smaller engines, an oil change no less frequently than every 3,000 miles is imperative, if you want the engine to last. Unless, of course, you are using a synthetic oil, which has a much different lifespan. That varies from one manufacturer to another, so check with them.
