It's the service intervals he was talking about...

Most people do not understand why Japanese service intervals are tigher than the U.S. It is a combination of marketing for U.S. OEMs to lenghten the invervals as with a lack of Japanese understanding on exactly how much lower quality other markets have for fuel, oil and filters.

Most Japanese cars do not require a fuel filter because their fuel purity standards are higher than the U.S, but since many markets will plug up fuel filters in 5k miles, it's kinda a crap shoot on what interval to set certain items.
