Now... my next question is to get my own 0w20 and go with it at the dealer or just let them put their oil? I will ask them if they use the 0w20 but they could be ignorant and say.. "sure... of course its 0w20", then use the 15w40 they use on any civic....
I'm not a freak, I'm just wondering what path to approach in order to make things right...

masgian;
I hope this will Help you out on your Question. The Dealers invoice will Read-Out Exactly what Oil was put in your HCH II.
I am reading the Invoice from the dealer on my oil change for my 2005 Limited Edition Honda Civic and it reads like this:
Supplies:
4.2 5W20 Honda @ 1.660/ Unit Total $6.97
So when you are ready for that oil to be changed, Believe me the Dealer has the Correct Oil for your Hybrid. 
The dealer is not going to do something Stupid like put the wrong weigh oil in your Hybrid. They know what oil goes in it and they carry it in stock. Remember they are the Dealer that services Honda Vehicles, so if anyone is going to carry the correct oil for your Hybrid, Who do you really think it will,
{BE}?
