Makes you wonder. Need to get some more maintenance schedule information on all of these vehicles with these supposedly 30000km+ (~18,500 mi).
I have heard you can go longer on an oil change if you just stay on the interstate 8 hours a day with the oil hot the entire time, but it seems odd because europeans always brag about americans driving too much. I would bet half of us hit severe service conditions from short cold trips around town and get derated on oil intervals without even knowing it. Toyota doesn't really mention qualifications to owners.
