A Toyota salesperson sparked a spirited debate on TikTok after claiming drivers only need to change their oil every 10,000 miles. Mechanics — as you probably guessed — didn’t see it that way and quickly became some of the loudest critics of the claim.
The salesperson is Kaitlin Stambaugh, who posts on TikTok under the username @kaitlinstambaugh. She works in the sales department at Doggett Toyota in Beaumont, Texas. After repeatedly being asked about Toyota’s oil change recommendations, Stambaugh decided to make a video breaking down the manufacturer’s reasoning for why modern Toyotas can go twice as long between oil changes.
