On average, hybrid engines have more stops and starts owing to the power shifts between the electrical motor and the combustion engine. They have lower working temperatures owing to shorter periods of engine operation and lower oil temperatures owing to extended periods when the engine is not in use. These characteristics require a dedicated engine oil that provides good protection to prevent wear during frequent stop–starts. Has excellent low temperature flowability so it can reach engine parts more quickly, gives better anticorrosion protection against water condensation at low temperatures and offers excellent fuel economy.
