Does PHV transaxle require ICE spinning for lubrication?

    Hi all

    Having had my 4 days experience here in Pt, I did notice some ICE spinning during EV.
    Does it really has to do with the transaxle oil pumping to lubricate parts?
    Or does the PHEV transaxle is somehow changed?

    Thank you in advance
