A man who went to buy a new car left the salesman completely stunned by asking for a vehicle where he wouldn’t have to worry about regular oil changes.
The affair was shared in a TikTok video on the profile GP Motor Companywho welcomed the driver of a Toyota Camry with an unusual request: a car that does not need regular oil changes.
“So you need to change the oil. It is recommended to do this every 5,000 km, as your engine needs to be lubricated. You always have to do an oil change,” explained the seller. The customer, however, remained firm in his request for a vehicle that did not require oil changes.
In the comments, people started suggesting that the man should buy an electric car, but even electric cars require occasional oil changes because the fluids inside electric powertrains don’t work the same way as engine oil in a gasoline vehicle.
That said, it is true that electric cars do not need as regular oil changes as combustion engines, which allows the interval between two oil changes to be extended from a few thousand kilometers to several years.
The video has already racked up more than 130,000 views, more than 8,000 likes and hundreds of comments from netizens offering their own suggestions for the driver.
“Just give him a bike,” one TikTok user joked. “He just needs to pedal,” argued another. “Yes, there is a vehicle that you can operate without having to change the oil. It’s called a bike,” a third user teased.

@gpmotorz Skipping oil changes doesn’t save money. It delays a much bigger bill… #CarMaintenance #OilChange #EngineProblems ♬ original sound – gpmotorz
