Only if you have no warranty from the dealer left to live up to. There is no place in the maintenance manual that states a 10,000 mile oil change interval. Now maybe Mobil1 will warrant your engine at 10000, but i would love to see that in writing.
The closest one i deal with is once again my daughters Accent. That maintenance book says every 7,500 miles.
The other issue along with oil holding up 10000 miles, is the capacity of the filter you choose. I have read where some have ran the Mobil1 20000 mile oil and changed just the filter at 10000 miles. You still could be setting yourself up for a battle with Toyota should engine lubrication be the root cause a any problems at hand.
