It came with the owners manual which says the specifications of the oil but makes no mention of the frequency to change it. Toyota says all post 2016 models require oil changes every 16,000km, this is been said by the service people at the dealership and the maintenance guide online at Toyota's website. Although on at Toyota Canada the maintenance schedule for the 86 is incomplete and they certainly don't provide one when you purchase the car. I asked the dealership as well and they have no idea the maintenance schedule for this car as they cannot find it either.

I'm kinda curious why Toyota has decided after 2016 to tell everyone that oil change is only required every 16,000km...I feel like probably nothing changed at a hardware level, may be R&D recommendation.

I have a feeling that someone is misunderstanding something along the line.

My 2013 (US model) included a "Warranty & Maintenance Guide" along with the "Owners Manual".

I suggest you ask your dealer for a copy of the warranty and maintenance guide. If they don't know what your talking about ....... ask to speak to his/her supervisor ...... just keep going up the line until you get something in writing that tells the maintenance for your car.
