Along these lines, I was also curious how often to change the oil on my new 2018 accord hybrid (base).
Glad I found this discussion.

Does anyone know how they get around the extra wear and tear of repeated starts and stops of the engine? Doesn't that allow the oil to settle and then starting again. Without some added tech to keep lubricant in the engine it seems to be asking for trouble.

And yes I know this is a question that should have been asked before buying the vehicle, but I was blinded by this beautiful car with 47 MPG! :)
 
Fair question. I received the "2018 Hybrid Owners guide" , 180 pages with my new car. It doesn't discuss how engine starts and stops add wear. Also there are no instructions on changing the oil, only checking the oil, adding oil , resetting engine oil life.
EDIT, I see the full "Manual" is online. sorry for the noise.
