Default Am I on Crazy Pills?

I bought HCH in January and so this is the first warm weather that my OPEC-Slayer has had to bask in. I have about a 30 minute commute to work. When I get home, I turn off the engine and there is still a fan running. Or something that sounds like a fan. Sometimes it will go for awhile before shutting off. Am I stupid? What is that? Granted, I don't have a very expansive knowledge of vehicles, but I hope I'm not crazy or something isn't wrong.

Second question – I got my oil changed at the dealer...it took nearly 2 hours! I was the only one there, mind you. No kidding. Finally the woman says "We didn't know it was a hybrid and had problems with the oil filter." First, what could possibly be different with chaning the oil on HCH and a normal civic? Second, I wonder what kind of oil they put into it. I don't know if I like my dealership people...they kind of made me feel guilty for asking these sorts of questions, but I am paying $20 for an oil change, ya know?

This is my first REAL car, so I want to take good care of it. My last one was a '95 Mercury Crap Mobile, so I didn't care too much.
