That's odd. Regular "dinosaur" oil change intervals for my dealership is every 5,000 miles. Synthetic is every 10,000 miles. How regular oil is perceived to be better is really strange. Maybe back then, but motors have evolved, (well, not really evolved, but updated enough) so it probably is designed to take synthetic better. The only Toyota vehicle in the US I know still requires regular oil and not synthetic is the V6 Tacomas. I didn't understand why, but I'm sure the techs in service will explain it to me one day.

In either case, why not take advantage of the free oil change and regular maintenance for the first 2 years/25,000 miles?
