Oil turns back due to the cleaning agents in modern quality oil. Generally the newer oils clean your engine and pick up little bits of sludge, dirt, garbage, etc and it contaminates the oil. This is why you run your engine for 5-10 mins before doing a oil change so your oil can pick up junk and it drains right out! Also, as oil breaks down it normally turns a darker color.

All oil turns black over time. Most of the black comes from small particles that are trapped in the oil. Also, carbon from the incomplete combustion of gasoline is held in the oil.

Oil contains detergents that clean your engine and suspend soot, deposits, & dirt in the oil.

Oil is not only a lubricant and helps cool the engine, but it also keeps the engine clean.
