Because I'm turbo. And when I use the 5w-30 the turbo smokes a little and GReddy recommends 5w-40 oil with this car and their kit to protect the turbo seals and bushings. And I'm ALWAYS driving this car HARD and I just feel better with a heavier weight oil in the hot summer months that are coming up. But thanks for the response.
