How does a hybrid vehicle work?

A hybrid vehicle means a vehicle with more than one power source.

This usually means a combustion engine and an electric system.

With two power sources, the combustion engine can be smaller, but is made

to work harder. It is the job of the transmission to combine the electrical

energy of the electric motor and the mechanical energy of the combustion

engine together to deliver the combined power to the wheels.

What new needs does a hybrid vehicle have?

In the transmission, where the electric motor is present, we need to

ensure that the electrical properties of the lubricant are right (they are non-

conductive), that the lubricant is compatible with the new materials in an

electric motor (large amounts of copper and other vulnerable metals, new

plastics and coatings) and that the lubricant can cope with the heat

generated by the electric motor for the full lifetime of the oil.

The combustion engine stops and starts frequently. This is tough on the

engine. It prevents it from reaching its optimal temperature and from

boiling off water condensed in the oil. The oil, too, may not reach its optimal

temperature, in which is case it may not be able to lubricate parts as well as

it should. This could lead to an accumulation of sludge and rising chances of

corrosion, oxidation and wear. The oil should provide optimal protection for

these conditions.

How can intermittent use cause engine problems?

If used infrequently, due to short journeys and good battery range, then the

engine may retain water from condensation without ever running hot enough

to get rid of it. This can lead to emulsion in the oil, which if not controlled can

cause damage. One such route to damage is by corrosion. The right engine

oil can help manage this problem and prevent damage.

Can I use the hybrid lubricant in older vehicles?

Yes! We have fully tested these products in a range of older vehicles too,

so Valvoline hybrid range can be used for cars of almost any age.

Check owner’s manual before use.

Why do I need a different lubricant?

The engine has not greatly changed design, but it is used in a different way;

either a smaller engine working higher in its capacity range, or infrequent use

when much of local driving is done on the battery. These two types of use of

hybrids means the engine faces new challenges.

Looking at the transmission, hybrid vehicles can include an electric motor that

is cooled and lubricated by the transmission oil. This means it has new needs.

Are there new industry or OEM specifications

specific to hybrid vehicles?

No, not yet. The same ACEA, API and OEM specifications and

recommendations still apply, but Valvoline has added additional performance

on top to further protect hybrid vehicles. This future-proofs your capability

and means you are ready for a fast-growing part of the market.

I’ve been using my normal fluid / genuine oil for

these hybrid vehicles and it worked fine so far.

Why do I need a special oil?

In some cases this will work. However, as the degree of electrification

increases, the additional demands of hybrid vehicles will become more

apparent. In other words, as the amount of power coming from the electrical

side increases, the engine will be used in more extreme ways and the

transmission has to accommodate much greater electrical energy.

This is getting more complicated. How can I

reduce the number of products I carry while still

serving my customers?

Valvoline will always offer a full range of products to satisfy customers

with vehicles of any age. However, with the growth of hybrid vehicles it is

important that we serve this new and growing need. If simplicity is needed,

then the new hybrid fluids also offer great fleet coverage. Talk to your local

Valvoline representative for further details on fleet coverage.

GOOD for the planet, good for the wallet, more and more drivers are falling in love

with their intelligent, hybrid electric vehicles, thanks to their great fuel economy,

reduced CO2 emissions and ability to glide silently through neighborhoods on electric power

alone. With so many benefits, it is no wonder drivers want the very best care for their cars.

SO HOW NOT TO COMPROMISE ON PERFORMANCE AND PROTECTION?

Hybrids remain combustion-engine vehicles at their heart. However, unlike conventional

vehicles, their engines have unique demands put on them by the stop-start cycle.

These demands, in turn, place demands on the oil. This has led Valvoline to develop an

intelligent solution, specifically addressing these demands – Valvoline Hybrid lubricants.

CHALLENGES FOR THE ENGINE OIL

CHALLENGES FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID

INTELLIGENT FLUID TECHNOLOGY

To save fuel, in a hybrid vehicle, the combustion engine stops and starts

frequently. This is tough on the engine. It prevents it from reaching its

optimal temperature and from boiling off water condensed in the oil.

The oil, too, may not reach its optimal temperature, in which is case

In the transmission, where the electric motor can be present,

we need to ensure that the electrical properties of the lubricant are

right (they are non-conductive), that the lubricant is compatible with

the new materials in an electric motor (large amounts of copper and

other vulnerable metals, new plastics and coatings) and that the

it may not be able to lubricate parts as well as it should. This could lead

to an accumulation of sludge and rising chances of corrosion, oxidation

and wear. Increased levels of contaminants floating around are likely

to reduce the lifetime of both engine and oil.

lubricant can cope with the heat generated by the electric motor for

the full lifetime of the oil. High temperatures can lead to oxidation of

the oil, causing it to deteriorate, potentially increasing conductivity

and putting bearings and seals at stake.

Higher amount of stop-start

cycles compared to traditional

ICE vehicles

Longer periods of engine

and oil inactivity

Oil not reaching proper operating

temperature to deliver optimal

performance and protection

Lubricant can be in direct contact

with the electric motor

High Temperatures Material and

coating compatibility

Valvoline has developed intelligent lubricants specifi cally tailored to these hybrid vehicles. Valvoline Hybrid products are lab-tested and specifi cally enhanced to ensure superior protection in these novel operating conditions.

Lab-tests have demonstrated excellent benchmark results on oxidation performance, corrosion protection, water tolerance and wear protection, showing double digit performance improvements relative to conventional oils, as well as known industry standards like API, ACEA.
