Engine turn on for hybrid

I’m a proud 2024 hyundai tuscon hybrid owner. From when I started driving, I was always told to have the engine running for a couple of mins for it to warm up, essentially to get the oil flowing before driving away, to prevent engine wear and tear. But whenever I start my tuscon it always starts in ev mode, with the engine not engaged. What should I do to engage the engine while parked? I rev for a bit to let the engine turn on but as soon as i take my foot off the gas pedal it goes back to EV mode. Any recommendations/tips?

Transmission fluid recommendation - 05 mustang gt manual transmission- Tremec TR-3650

I have a 2005 ford mustang gt with manual transmission and its time to do the tranny fluid change but I’m confused on what oil to use. Its a tremec TR-3650 transmission and the manual says use Motocraft mercon atf but thats discontinued and replaced with mercon V ATF. Now, when i search for this in Auto store it says this fluid is not recommended for 05 mustang gt. I looked into penzoil synchromax and Royal purple synchromesh products as well and from what i hear they definitely help you in the short run but in the long run they tend to damage the tranny because of the additives in them.
So I’m here on reddit trying to figure out what to buy. Here are the links. Keep in mind that my transmission currently has oem recommended mercon ATF which is synthetic blend and does upgrading to either RP or penzoil which are full synthetic cause issues?
