Out of my butt I'm thinking that hybrids COULD gain more from thinner oil. My reasoning? The engine is off more, and therefore (I'm theorizing) the oil runs cooler and therefore the thinner oil would help more. Like I said out of my Butt, but could be.

Or were you talking about how to change the oil?
In which case I remember reading a SEMA article that basically said that the only thing you needed to know is that to "start" the engine, turn on the A/C.
