Hmm.. lets see if fully comprehended what you typed.  You change your oil and in a 3 weeks the oil is a dark brown color.

My car is the same way, when you change your oil, you are not getting rid of all the old oil, so when the new oil goes in it mixes with some of the old oil changeing its color.  Plus with the added slight use of the oil for those three weeks.  

I would say its normal, anybody elses opinion or facts would be greatly appreciated.
