No warranty on a new car if you service it yourself

Never had any problem with that in the USA, and in Thailand I doubt if a reputable company like Toyota would pull a stunt like that, although the dealer might try to claim that was the case. The car is 3 years old now and like a typical Toyota has never had any problems, so it's non-issue.

I also kept all my receipts for oil and filters and wrote the mileage and date on each one just in case.
