action dear Tom and Ray i took my 2006 Honda civic hybrid to a store for an Oil change the manager told me he could not do Oil changes on hybrid cars because the engine can Start even with the ignition turned off and the keys out of the car he said he needed lineman gloves and would have to disconnect the electrical system in my Honda or he could get a serious Shock he said i must have noticed that the car would Start All by it self even with the key out of the ignition he said it does this to charge the Bat Tery i never once noticed the car starting by itself he said Only Honda can safely change the Oil in a hybrid i have taken my Honda hybrid to other local ser vice stations and they All changed the Oil for me without any problems is there any Merit to what he told me my previous car was a Toyota Prius and i did notice a humming sound coming from the engine after i had turned it off but even with the Prius i had the Oil changed at local service stations rather than go to the dealer Robert Tom the Guy was Misin formed Robert once if s turned off this car wont Start unless someone turns on the ignition Kay if s True that an increasing number of cars including some versions of the Prius come Click and Clack Tom and Ray Magliozzi with something called a passive entry system with one of these systems All you need to do is approach the vehicle with the key Fob in your pocket and the car senses that you have the key Tom once it senses that the Correct key is close by it will let you unlock the doors and Start the engine by push Button without actually taking the key Fob out of your pocket Ray but even with a passive entry system you still have to push the Start Button or the car absolutely will not run Tom this Guy May have had an experience with a hybrid where someone left the ignition on since hybrids Are silent in their electric Mode and Only Start the engine when they need to it May have appeared to him to be off Ray then if the hybrids com Puter determined that the Battery needed to be charged it May have started up while he was working on it and scared the lug nuts off him who knows Tom but if the car is legitimately turned off it will not Start by itself and you can get your Oil changed anywhere Robert Well anywhere but from this Guy got a question about cars write to Click and Clack in care of this newspaper or email them by visiting
