    It is stated in the manual that 10,000kms is the service interval for NORMAL use. Why does Toyota Philippines insist on using the SEVERE schedule even if our cars are NOT subjected to repeated short trips, towing, taxi, extensive idling, etc? They insist on SEVERE schedule even for cars that are operated in the traffic-free provinces...

    Additional income nila yan, just think, how many units they have sold this year and multiply those units with the amount charged for the 5k PMS, malaking pera iyan!

    Considering our roads, traffic and climate, driving in our country is considered under severe driving conditions. Other than that its just a way for them to earn more money.

    would toyota void the warranty if you let them do only 10k's service but have your 5k's change oil/filter outside casa (to save a few bucks)?

    just asking ... coz i think (even for other carmakers) it is usually at 10k's (esp. 40k's) where some other fluids/parts are replaced but 5k's usually call for just oil/filter change

    AFAIK, nagka-problema yung Toyota sa US due to the long service interval, because the conditions cars run into over that span are unpredictable, they reverted to the shorter one just to be sure.

    Now if our Japanese cars only had a change oil light like BMW's... then you wouldn't even have to think about the interval.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    dapat naman talaga 5K, I always follow that. My truck now has 70K miles and brakepads lang napalitan.

Why does Toyota Philippines insist on 5K service interval?
