A man out shopping for a new car left the salesman speechless when he asked for a vehicle where he didn’t have to worry about regular oil changes.
The case was shared in a TikTok video on GP Motor Company-the profile which welcomed the driver of a Toyota Camry with an unusual request: a car that does not require regular oil changes.
“So, you need to change the oil. It’s recommended every 5,000 km because your engine needs to be lubricated. You should always do an oil change,” 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 require occasional oil changes, as the fluids inside electric powertrains don’t work the same way as engine oil in a gasoline car.
However, it is 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 garnered over 130,000 views, more than 8,000 likes and hundreds of comments from netizens who offered their own suggestions for the driver.
“Just give him a bike,” one TikTok user joked. “He just needs to drive,” argued 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
