Your cart engine (glorified lawnmower engine) is air-cooled and only holds quart of oil. When it turn black it is dirty. Dirt wears cranks shaft bearing mostly, other moving parts like risk pins, and block bore. I have never worn out any engine I ever owned. When the oil starts to get contaminated I change it reguardless of how many hours, miles, or months. Usually at least twice year and sometimes 3 times year. IMO changing the oil is no 1 thing that will make cart last very long time.
