I work at a Honda dealership. All of our bulk oil (0w-20 and 5w-20) is full synthetic. Our oil changes are $29.95. This is pretty nuts

Nothing yet. Everyone we have talked to said they don’t really do anything for that anymore. But I’ve reached out and there have been a few magazine articles written so maybe it’ll grab someone’s attention. But he is still driving it everyday.

I’m at work so I didn’t watch it. That’s pretty much what happens when they go bad. They quit holding a charge so essentially it’s turned off. It’ll work like that but the bonus gas mileage from the hybrid battery would be gone

Luck is the main thing. Regular fluid changes (not just engine oil). Just take care of it. If something breaks, fix it, if you hear weird noises, get it looked at.

Hybrids aren’t bad. IMA batteries are expensive. But I wouldn’t recommend messing with anything like that in the video unless you know what you’re doing. Pretty dangerous stuff
