This oil only had only 1000 miles on it, and was super clean/clear, just a little darker than normal.
Leading evidence: 'Clean /clear, just a little darker than normal' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Of course the oil was drained into a clean bucket (kudos Home Depot) and if I decide to re-use the oil in anything (lawn equipment/snow blower, another car, the 996 for an oil flush...) I'll run it through a fine filter.

Suggestion
When ever I want to reuse oil that has little to no miles on it, I drain it into a clean container then pour it through a bio-diesel/oil bag filter with 1 micon .

Clean container, cover it while working, then put back in.

If you use a clean container, I have no issues with reusing the oil if fairly fresh.....

Suggestion
Its nearly impossible to drain oil without getting a few specks of dirt in it, pass it through a crude kitchen paper filter to make sure its clean into a new container and use later

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After my near heart attack with the green cam cover end cap, I drained nearly 8 qts. of DT40 from my crank case. This oil only had only 1000 miles on it, and was super clean/clear, just a little darker than normal. I hate to just throw it away as it's over $100 worth of oil. Part of me says: "Just dump it and chalk it up to bad juju"...
"Maybe I could save it and use for an oil flush"...
Any consensus? I've already put new oil back in (DT40) so it's not like I'm pressed for time...
This. My "good used" oil usually ends up in various pieces of lawn/garden equipment. Currently they're all running on Motul 8100 that was drained with a few hundred miles on it.

All good and valid points guys - Thank you. Of course the oil was drained into a clean bucket (kudos Home Depot) and if I decide to re-use the oil in anything (lawn equipment/snow blower, another car, the 996 for an oil flush...) I'll run it through a fine filter.

This cleans the oil actually cleaner than it comes out of the bottle!Caterpillar has reports of many cases where new oil has not met there minimum requirements for oil cleanliness in ppm for dirt. Dirt particles between 4-10 microns do the most damage to a bearing as they are small enough to pass by the oil filter and get into the bearing but too large to get flushed out.

Your oil filter on your car only has between 10-30 miron filter to allow for fast oil flow, the bag filters designed to filter bio-diesel/oil can be bought as fine as .5 micron and cost between 3-6 dollars depending on material (polyester/nylon) and construction (sewn seam/welded seam).
Note: filtering room temperature oil through a 1 micron filter takes time, I haven"t actually measured it , but it's about 15-20 min per liter/quart.
It would not hurt to filter ANY oil, new or used, through a 1 micron bag filter before use.
Awesome! I'll order one or two of these - seems like a great thing to have on hand. I actually ran the oil through a "paint screen" filter when I drained it - just to see if there was anything funky in there. It was very clean and as I mentioned earlier just a little darker than the stuff straight out of the bottle. That little chunk of aluminum stayed in/on the sump plate...
