Engine Oil 5000km+ run..... experts?

may sound silly but it happened, as i forgot to change the engine oil since long and when i realized, i found out that it has been more than 5000km since last oil change. now when i checked the engine oil through the dip stick i found that the oil level is ok and that the color is also golden (opposed to what i thought it might have turned black)

what does this shows? engine oil after 5000km still in golden color?
when exactly we should get the oil changed?

t depends which brand and grade of oil u r using.... some brands recommend change of oil after 3500 kms and some after 4500 kms...... but its very difficult to find the original oil in pakistan...... so its better that u should change oil after 3500 kms...... dont risk ur engine life......
