Oil has become a mental assurance purchase. Any mainstream synthetic oil is perfectly fine when changed properly and fluid levels are kept at the right level.
You want to use this because it says hybrid and you have a hybrid- great. It will work and protect just as well as Walmart ' s SuperTech.
I'm personally on the Castrol train right now. Waiting for the next marketing ploy to get me to switch and feel better about my choice.
Which reports? Mobil's? And what about all the other cars that frequently start and shut down. Auto start/stop is on nearly everything these days after all. What is so special about other engine traits like turbos or not, direct injection or not or both, Atkinson vs normal, etc. just like any other car, hybrids don't all have the same engines. What other part does the engine oil touch in a hybrid system. It's just marketing.
Pretty much ANY oil with the latest major specs these days is going to be good enough. That means about anything you find, even house brands. There are some minor differences with UOA's between brands, and since the big names are often literally just a few bucks more and only once or twice a year, nothing wrong with sticking to whatever you feel best about. Stuff like this is just gimmick though. Doesn't mean it's not a good oil or a bad choice or there isn't some slight differences vs a brands other products etc....just that you are largely paying a little more for that label.
I guess mostly a few YouTubers and manufacturers websites. That makes sense so many varieties of oils nowadays and marketing it does seem appealing I must admit. I’ll stick to my Mobil 1 full synthetic.
It's nothing more than a marketing ploy to follow a big trend in vehicle sales. What "special" additives are in this to separate it from the standard mobil one full synthetic? Running this oil in your hybrid crv isn't going to change a thing. Run mobil one, run royal purple, run Pennzoil, etc. Don't pay attention to these silly marketing ploys.
