Hybrid cars generally do not require more frequent oil changes compared to gas-only cars. In fact, the opposite is often true because the electric motor in hybrids helps reduce the strain on the combustion engine, potentially allowing for less frequent oil changes. Most hybrids need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, similar to many gas-powered vehicles. Some newer hybrid models, especially those using synthetic oil, may allow for even less frequent oil changes, up to 7,000 to 10,000 miles. The best practice is to follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change interval, as it can vary depending on the specific vehicle and driving conditions.
