I read on the front page of the Money section in USA Today yesterday that Shell is planning to release a new 0w20 synthetic oil "designed" for hybrid cars (gas / electric). It's meant to handle the frequent turning on and off of the gas motor in city driving.
Sounds like hype to me. There's no difference between revving 1000 to 2000 rpm... or 0 rpm to 1000 rpm. The engine doesn't care, and neither does the oil.
I just use standard 5w-20 amsoil in my hybrid. Works beautifully.
