Default Is N20 causing excessive blow-by?

Just changed my oil for the first time after N20 install. Have gone through one and a half bottles and the oil was much more dirty than ever before.

Has any one seen this or notice oil being a lot more dirty with N20 use? The air filter fit is normal. PCV valve gets changed with every oil change so I dont think it was malfunctioning.

Blowby follows cylinder pressure, which N2O will raise
a lot. Running rich as most folks do, will also load the
oil more as there's more heavy fractions in the blowby
gas.

I understand - but is mine excessive I wonder?

The Q is, did you yourself or others see a noticable difference in the oil color?
