Default Oil change

Just changed the oil and replaced the filter. Last change was 24/11/12 and 17k miles ago using Quantum Longlife III. I dont know where the time went and the last 5k miles were all done ina very busy last 3 months. I know its "longlife" but I should do it every 10k.

But just look at the colour in the attached photos - even if the oil has not broken down in any way the black stuff must be something (carbon?) suspended in the oil thats not supposd to be there and it cannot be doing the engine any good.
