How does an oil change in a hybrid or electric vehicle work?
Unlike fully electric vehicles, hybrid powertrains still have an internal combustion engine that uses oil to help keep everything properly lubricated.Ā The more time you spend behind the wheel, the more often you'll have to get your oil changed.Ā But a good rule of thumb, as per the manufacturer, is to get the oil changed in your hybrid car at least every 5,000 miles.
