Yeah, the only way to really know is to take out the filter...either do it yourself, or if you don't have the tool for it then ask them to open it to show you. The oil turns dark pretty quickly, but it should still be a nice clean gold color for at least a couple hundred miles. I'm not sure how quickly the filter itself will turn dark.
