A Florida TikToker has caused a stir online after saying that oil change shops are charging customers for oil they never actually get. The claim has car owners asking if they are really getting what they pay for when they take their vehicles in for routine maintenance. TikTok creator @cheeva316 posted a video that has been watched more than 14,000 times.
In it, he talks about what he says is a common thing that happens at oil change shops. He tells customers to look closely at their receipts after every oil change. He says the receipt always shows two key numbers: how many quarts of oil the car actually needed and how many quarts the customer paid for. He says these numbers often do not match up. The TikToker says that when a customer asks for premium synthetic oil like Mobil 1, most shops do not use barrel systems to measure it out.
