I know this may be a dumb fact, but Toyota Us recommends oil and filter service every 3000 miles (4825 km), whereas Toyota Canada recommends every 6000 Km equivalent to 3725 miles. Wonder why Toyota Canada didn't shorten the interval to 5000 km? I know pretty pointless topic, guess in normal city driving it doesn't hurt to go nearly 4000 miles between oil changes.

well, generally, in Canada it is colder and the oil does not hin out as much as in warmer climates resulting in longer life, i think.
now toyota is saying every 5000 miles, infact, every car company is saying that now, most likely to reduce oil dependance/usage either way i change at 3000 every time. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
