hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    Tyre Rotation Consensus?

    Given the MG3 Hybrid is a little rocket ship off the line on battery, I was wondering about the wear on the front tyres. Has anyone reached the point where front to rear tyre rotation has become a good idea? I doubt this is a normal MG service action, but correct me if I am wrong, and besides...

    MG3 Hybrid fuel cap is very difficult to open

    I'm sure others must be having this problem. My wife is unable to undo the fuel cap filler, even I struggle. I have tried tightening it by one click and then undoing it, not sure this makes any difference. I am currently looking into modding some sort of lever/spanner device so my wife can undo...

    MG3 Hybrid Engine Oil Grade

    Looking at the MG3 Hybrid Service Manual, it specifies C5 SP 0W-20 grade synthetic oil. This is clearly what the car is delivered with. It is also what Toyota Hybrids are shipped with.

    Hybrid Odometer Not Relevant

    I was recently watching a Utube video from the "I Do Cars" engine tear down expert, and he was disassembling a Prius hybrid engine which failed at 73,000 miles on it. He pointed out the meaningless nature of Odometees in Hybrid cars, as a way of actually knowing how much wear the engine has...

    MG3 Hybrid 15HFC Oil Filter?

    Does anyone know what oil filter (brand, ID #, etc), is used on the Hybrid 15HFC engine? I can't find it listed anywhere. It is not on any of the filter picker apps or cross references that I have searched. I suppose it is delivered with an SAIC filter on it, but if I want to change it before...
