Toyota maintenance service Malaysia/ Are we being shortchanged?

Dear Friends and owners of Camry Hybrid

I just want to highlight the maintenance service of Toyota Camry hybrid in Malaysia. For one, the regular maintenance service in Malaysia is every 10,000 kilometers . As the owner , you have to send your car for the regular service every 10,000 kilometers.And you will need to spend around RM 250 to 350 (US 50 to US 70)  for the regular service which includes oil filter , drain plug gasket and the fully synthetic oil. The premium oil 5W-40  will cost the owner slightly more.  The sad thing is that in the US their regular service is very 10,000 miles or 16,000 km. They drive  more miles before servicing compared to the practice in  Malaysia.

The point is that are we being shortchanged by Toyota Malaysia? Why is the service interval for Toyota cars in Malaysia is just every 6,000 miles and not every 10,000 miles as practiced in the US? Is the synthetic oil in Malaysia is of less quality? Or do we let  Toyota Malaysia make so much easy money. I believe the service interval should be the same as in the US and in Malaysia.
