I like to (while wearing protective gloves) feel how "slippery" the oil feels whilst draining the sump. If there isn't any perceivable grit in the oil and the sump plug isn't fuzzy with metal shavings, all is good to go. You have to remember that the engine and transmission share the same oil, so a lot of the stuff that makes oil look black comes from the clutch plates.
