Apart from the power train there is almost no difference whatsoever. They all have a frame or chassis, 4 wheels, suspension and other running gear, there might be small differences to accommodate the extra power source and supply (i.e. batteries, fuel tank, motors, etc.) but nothing significant. Hybrid cars are an engineering exercise on packaging, it is difficult to fit 2 sufficiently powerful engines in a car and their fuel supplies without making the car drasticlly bigger and heavier than a comparable single power source car.
Both use internal combustion engines that use gasoline. Both use a transmission to maximize ratio of rpm and speed. Both are equipped with internal climate control mechanisms.

Can synthetic oil be used in a hybrid car?

As long as the synthetic oil is of the correct viscosity for the engine, it can be used in a hybrid car. Hybrid cars have two engines - the gasoline powered one and the electric one.

What is the main difference between gasoline-powered and electric hybrid car?

Hi, Hybrid cars are most commonly known as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). They include a combination of an internal combustion engine or one or more electric motors. They use both gasoline and electric motors.
