Dealer says blended oil only in my 2007, and that 2008 or later can take pure synthetic. Why?  
Also, “91 octane only” Why?

Look in the manual and if it says Premium required then the dealer is correct . It will also list the oil to be used . And why are you going to a dealer for oil change on a 12 year old vehicle ?
