What Is a Hybrid Vehicle and How Does It Work?
Learn all about hybrid vehicles and how they work. Explore the history and latest trends of hybrid cars and Valvoline fluids they use to run efficiently.
With excellent fuel economy and an environmentally-friendly powertrain, it’s easy to see why hybrid vehicles are more popular than ever. What’s not so obvious are the unique demands placed on the engine and motor oil. Because of a repeated start-stop cycle, plus occasionally running on its electric motor instead of the gasoline engine, hybrids don’t always reach an optimal operating temperature, which can lead to condensation, fuel dilution, and engine corrosion. Formulated with exclusive Trap and Lock Technology to prevent damage from fuel and water, Valvoline Hybrid Vehicle Full Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered for the specific demands of hybrid cars, SUVs and trucks. It suspends water molecules in the oil, provides proper lubrication of all metal surfaces and includes an anti-corrosion shield for enhanced protection against rust. Valvoline Hybrid Vehicle Full Synthetic goes beyond the minimum requirements of a typical synthetic, making it the best motor oil for hybrids like Toyota Prius and Camry, Honda Accord and CRV, Ford Maverick and Escape. Designed with top-quality additives that defend against friction, heat, deposits, sludge and wear, Valvoline Hybrid Vehicle Full Synthetic can help keep your hybrid running at peak performance.
Hybrid vehicles are unique, calling for an antifreeze/coolant that goes above and beyond to maintain optimal system performance. Zerex Hybrid Antifreeze/Coolant is a game-changer. Because hybrids have enhanced battery and electrical components, there’s an increased burden placed on the vehicle cooling system. Zerex solves the problem with a custom formula that meets the demands of all hybrids, maximizing battery life and system performance. Our advanced antifreeze/coolant technology optimizes heat transfer through a silicate-free formulation to minimize channel blockage while preventing harmful corrosion and battery component wear. If you want a happy hybrid, don’t compromise on performance or protection.
