How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does the Lynk & Co 02 Require?

According to the manufacturer's manual, the Lynk & Co 02's recommended engine oil specifications are as follows: For the 1.5T version engine, it is recommended to use RBS0-2AE0W-20 engine oil; the oil capacity (with oil filter) is approximately 5.6L, and the oil capacity (without oil filter) is approximately 5.3L. For the 2.0T version engine, it is also recommended to use RBS0-2AE0W-20 engine oil; the oil capacity (with oil filter) is approximately 5.6L, and the oil capacity (without oil filter) is approximately 5.2L. To check the engine oil level: The oil level can be viewed on the dashboard. Without pressing the brake pedal, hold the start button alone for ten seconds, and the oil level will be displayed on the dashboard. When checking, ensure that all four wheels of the car are parked on the same level surface without any tilt. If the car body is tilted, the oil level in the oil pan will change, leading to inaccurate measurement results.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 02 for over three years now. I remember asking the technician during the first maintenance, and they mentioned the oil capacity is approximately 4.5 liters, but it depends on your specific engine model. I frequently check the dipstick myself - the normal oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. If it's too high, it increases engine resistance and fuel consumption; if too low, insufficient lubrication can damage components. Once I overfilled slightly, and the car made unusual noises after startup. I recommend using full synthetic oil as it withstands higher temperatures and extends oil change intervals. Generally, check every 5,000 kilometers or six months, and don't forget to replace the oil filter to maintain engine health. Temperature affects oil level, so it's best to measure when the engine is cold.
