The pistons are a different shape, and compression is up to 11.1 to 1. It has much more torque as well. I have a complete write up if anyone is interested. In other words, it may or may not be a longer lasting, trouble free power plant. Personally, I've owned both, and I like the 2013 version much better. The 40 - 43 mpg Canadian overall I get is nice as well. So far I have no oil consumption on it. I've used PP 0w20 and Amsoil SS 0w20.
