I've been driving my Lynk & Co 03 for almost two years, and checking the engine oil is quite straightforward. Park on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait a few minutes for it to cool down—never do this when the engine is hot. After opening the hood, the dipstick usually has a bright-colored pull ring, making it easy to locate. Pull out the dipstick, wipe off the oil with a clean cloth, fully reinsert it, wait a few seconds, then pull it out again to check that the oil level is between the min and max marks. If it's below min, add the manufacturer-recommended 0W-20 oil, but don't exceed the max mark. I check it monthly to prevent engine overheating or wear. By the way, engine oil lubricates the parts, and keeping it in good condition can save you some fuel costs. If the oil level is abnormal or the color turns black, get it checked at a shop as soon as possible—don't delay.

As someone who frequently maintains my car, I've developed the habit of checking the engine oil before every wash. The oil dipstick on the Lynk & Co 03 is conveniently located at the front of the engine compartment, making it easy to access. Park on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait ten minutes for it to cool completely. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, then pull it out again to check if the oil level is in the middle. If it's low, top it up with fully synthetic 0W-20 oil, which meets the manual's specifications. Regular checks can help detect leaks or oil consumption issues. I recommend checking in conjunction with your service intervals—once every 1,000 kilometers is sufficient. As for oil quality, bright and clear is good; if it darkens, it's a sign it's time for a change. Developing this small habit can extend your engine's life, saving you money and giving you peace of mind.

When checking the oil in my Lynk & Co 03, the steps are simple. Park on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait for it to cool down. Open the hood and locate the dipstick, usually with a yellow handle. Pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert it, then pull it out again to check the oil level between the min and max marks. Add oil if it's low, and be cautious if it's too high. Always perform this when the engine is cool to avoid danger, and maintain the proper oil level to protect the engine.
