Because the newer model gets better gas mileage (cylinder deactivation) and has more horsepower.
The other reason is I wanted a perfect engine that hasn't been ragged out. Dealers will say the first oil change doesn't need to happen until 10k miles but that's wrong. The first oil change should happen at 1k miles, 5k, and then every 5k.
The last reason is the car was brand new, only had 5 miles on it, and we can now do a proper break in (Avoid Reving Enging and no long road trips) until 600 miles.
I've had cars that "used" oil and I'm tired of it. This is caused when the oil is not changed enough, and the cylinder rings get junked up. My Charger and Ashley's Scion uses oil. It's because my friend is an Amsoil dealer, I was using that oil and he would tell me it didn't need to be changed but once a year. That was wrong. Watch this video.
