Same rules apply though. The US site just doesn't make that clear.

OK, I got a response from Toyota.

They are referencing the Warranty & Maintenance Guide (physical) and saying the intervals are 7,500 miles or 7.5 months.

The website is therefore misleading, giving people the impression that intervals are only mileage-based.

I called in the morning and my service manager said at the 3-4k miles I put on in a year I am still good with doing the oil change once every year.

I did.
It is always me.
Even when it wasn't me it was me.
Just ask my wife.
May have been the cat though.

Sure. I was pffting the idea that you'd need a lawyer for that. Even if you went to court, it would be small claims.
