Synthetic/black oil
So...alot of questions for conventional vs synthetic oil from the factory and what to use after the first oil change.
I agree with the comment for cost of conventional oil for manufactures being less then synthetic. Could they come from the factory with conventional oil? Plausible. Not like likely. With conventional oil vs synthetic, seals, grommets, fittings, will not absorb/seat the same. Synthetic oil is more refined, it doesn't have alot of the impurities of conventional oil. It lasts longer, better for the components, doesn't build up as fast, on and on and on.
If you change your oil or have someone do it for you and only use conventional you may get a little more wear and tear in your motor. Not a bad thing really, it's just what happens to a car, esp. cars like the Evo.
Synthetic oil will likely help in reducing the time that it takes to witness wear and tear, but again this is what happens.
This is a fact and you're welcome to try it. If you've been running conventional oil in your car and have been the whole time you've owned it, then change to a synthetic, I would advise you to have a drip pan or dry sweep ready in the morning after your car has sat over night. The seals will leak due to the synthetic oil being finer and less likely to build up than ole' faithful conventional oil that your dad used in his '76 Ford one ton.
As far as oil turning black. Turbo motors are notorious for oil turning black before an NA motor would. Things move faster. The turbo is cooled/lubricated by the oil. Google "coking" and you will find out why it is a good idea to idle your engine after a long or hard drive in your car. (Hint, buy a turbo timer).
