A man looking to buy a new car completely surprised the car salesman when he asked for a vehicle that did not require regular oil changes.
The case was shared in a TikTok video on GP Motor Company-the profile, which received 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 every 5,000 km because your engine needs lubrication. You always have to change the oil,” the salesman explained. However, the buyer was adamant about his desire for a vehicle that did not require an oil change.
In the comments, netizens began suggesting that the man should buy an electric car, but even electric cars need oil changes from time to time, since the fluids in electric drivetrains do not work the same way as engine oil in a gasoline-powered car.
It is nevertheless true that electric cars do not need oil changes as often as cars with a combustion engine, which can extend the interval between changes from a few thousand kilometers to several years.
The video has already received over 130,000 views, more than 8,000 likes and hundreds of comments from internet users who gave their own suggestions for the driver.
“Just give him a bike,” joked one TikTok user. “He just needs to ride,” opined another. “Yes, there is a vehicle you can use without changing the oil. It’s called a bicycle,” teased a third user.

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