You guys are confusing oil quality with the rate at which the engine contaminates its oil with carbon. They have little to do with each other, let alone does it indicate an inferior oil, actually, quite the contrary. The reason I say little instead of nothing is because of detergents.
If you switch to a higher detergent oil and its black withtin 100 miles, it doenst mean that its a **** oil, it means your previous oil wasnt cleaning the crud out and suspending it well enough. It could also mean you have ridiculous blow by. It could also mean your PCV system isnt up to task. There are so many variables to this.

Hopefully this works.
YT is so glitchy and annoying.
1) My buddy in passenger seat was slightly anibreated so pardon his yelling
2) M5 owners mind was blown and he kept wanting to go again and again at higher speeds thinking he'd have a chance
3) Last run he tried to jump instead of going on 3, no matter what, the outcome was the same
car in question

here's a REALLY GOOD thread on oils for you guys too btw
The NASIOC Oil Selection Guide - NASIOC
Also been looking at more OCI's than I care to mention. I'll post a bunch of them for T6, because so far all look great
(or you can just google "wrx t6 oci" and start sifting lol)

I'm enjoying my last weekend of freedom (starting a new job tomorrow after being laid off the last month) In other words I was tanked before lunch yesterday, and had my roommate come grab me around 11 at the bar yesterday evening.
Vlad, seriously? Really? ESL?
