That oil, i guess , is still good as lubricant. Does it have any use with no aditional fancy recovery process? It just looks kind of dark.

Drop it off at an oil recycle facility.
Dirty oil has been known to cause cancer.
Don't be a penny pincher trying to oil your garage door with hazardous contaminated oil.

5000 kms of normal engine use is fine for your bike , as engine oil is used its molecules like ball bearings become worn down making it pretty much useless for motor oil after use also viscosity [thickness of the oil] becomes thin oil making it usless for oil pressure plus dirt in it [carbon .metal powder.ect] always replace oil filter for it becomes filled with dirt .so even if you filter out the used oil till it looks like new it is still worn out

Let the oil stay in your engine for 3000 miles.

Your local Autozone store is supposed to recycle that for you.

Sometimes I put a drop on a paper towel and use it for wiping off my exhaust pipes, but that's just me.

Keep running it in your bike. Your oil filter will clean it. Changing oil every 800 miles is obsessive- you could easily get 2,500 miles between oil changes.

You don't have to replace oil that much unless you're doing track days.

You cannot clean/recover it. It takes all kinds of processing to do that.
