Had to ask, as $4+ gasoline begins to threaten internal combustion engines what will we BITOGers do with ourselves?
What oil will I need in my 2012 plug in hybrid?

You will be using 2012 plug in hybrid oil. Made only by Amsoil it will increase your mpgs Guaranteed!
0W-10 polyol ester based synthetic with a HTHS of 2.6. It'll have to be a straight grade with extremely high viscosity index blended to allow for very good pumpability and cranking, as well as maintaining a low kinematic viscosity to reduce drag while still protecting bearings.
The SAE will be considering a 0+ rating as an even lower test than the 0W test for these oils to qualify them for low oil temperature, intermittent operation use.

Well, just like all other Heels fans, you will be 20 years behind the times....go 'Hoos!
Anyways, I'm guessing oil will not advance too much and just like current hybrids you will be able to use the latest API rated oil.

So if I mix it with my stash of 10w30.... do I end up with a brew of 5w20??

Waste heat from the electric motors and during battery charging will be used to preheat the engine to full operating temp.

Viscosities will go higher in the future. The movement will be toward "self contained" ..or modular systems. Since heavier oils produce more of their own heat in the normal laminar shearing action, they will be used to an advantage in his regard. Lighter oils are merely a foolish trend that will quickly go out of vogue in our ultra high efficiency future.
3 in 1 oil for my bike chain...
Serial Hybrid
See the gm-volt.com site for info on the Chevy Volt.
They'll use a smaller engine operating at optimum steady RPM/load. Therefore I am guessing xW20
Parallel Hybrid
The same oil as today. For turbo engines xW30 or xW40, others might go to xW20
