A man who was shopping for a new car left the salesman completely stunned by asking for a vehicle where he didn’t have to worry about regular oil changes.
The case was shared in a TikTok video on the profile GP Motor Companywhich welcomed the driver of a Toyota Camry with an unusual request: a car that doesn’t require regular oil changes.
“So, you have to change the oil. It is recommended every 5,000 km because the engine needs lubrication. You always have to do an oil change,” the seller explained. However, the buyer remained steadfast in his demand for a vehicle that does not require oil changes.
In the comments, users began suggesting that the man should buy an electric car, but even electric cars require occasional oil changes, as the fluids inside electric transmissions don’t work the same way as engine oil in a gasoline-powered vehicle.
That said, it’s true that electric cars don’t need as frequent oil changes as combustion engine cars, allowing you to extend the interval between changes from a few thousand kilometers to several years.
The video has already accumulated over 130,000 views, more than 8,000 likes and hundreds of comments from users who have given their suggestions to the driver.
“Just give him a bike,” one TikTok user joked. “He just has to pedal,” added another. “Yes, there is a vehicle you can use without changing the oil. It’s called a bicycle,” a third user teased.

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