If it was a catastrophic failure resulting in sudden oil loss there would have been signs all over the engine compartment. If it was a slow leak, then performing regular maintenance, or just checking your fluids on a regular basis would have easily prevented the failure.

Normally I agree that car companies try to screw you over when possible, but in that case Toyota is probably right.


For the OP, I do about the same thing, I recently was getting the previous service done about 1000k miles short of the next one. My dealership however asked me which service I wanted. If there is another dealership near by, I would move my business there.
