Is my oil unusually dirty?

Using Mobil-1 0W-40 since I bought her used with 19K miles. It seems to me that the oil turns darker pretty quick. After just 2K or so, its really brown. Not dirty looking really, just much darker. Been this way through several changes now, always at 5K mile intervals, using Purolator PureOne filter and no additives to the oil. She never seems to burn a drop, and I check it often.
Is this because it's synthetic? This is the only vehicle I've ever used synthetic in. My C900 gets dino 10W30 and it darkens quite slowly. The Mobil-1 at 1000 miles looks like the dino (Castrol GTX 10W-30) at 3000 miles.
Maybe this is common for turbos? First turbo I've owned too.
Thanks for the help,
Brian
