Too much of a generalization.

I was there.

VW 10k service interval

BL 3k service interval

Toyota 9K service interval.

Which one isn't there any more?

No BL car I know of had a 3000 mile service interval. Can you state which
one?

But neither the Japs or Germans 'started the ball rolling' with accuracy
in engine making. Possibly at the cheaper end. But that's not what you
said.
