How to Check the Oil Level in a Lynk & Co 01?
3 Answers
The method to check the oil level in a Lynk & Co 01 is: 1. Ensure that all four wheels of the car are parked at the same horizontal level; 2. Use the oil dipstick to measure, ensuring the oil level is between the lower and upper limits of the measurement scale area. The Lynk & Co 01 is a 5-door, 5-seat compact SUV under the Lynk & Co brand, with body dimensions of 4549mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1689mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2734mm. The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a Drive-E series 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 140 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 01 for a few months now, and checking the engine oil is something to take seriously. Park on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait for about 10 minutes to let the oil settle. Open the hood—the dipstick is usually bright yellow and located toward the front, making it easy to find. Pull out the dipstick, wipe off the oil with a cloth, reinsert it all the way, then pull it out again to check the level—the oil should be between the min and max marks. If it's low, don't add too much right away; consult the manual to confirm the use of 5W-30 oil, add 100-200ml, and recheck. I check it every two weeks to prevent engine wear. The Lynk & Co 01's dipstick markings are clear, so even beginners won't get confused. Remember to do this when the ambient temperature is moderate, as extreme cold or heat can affect accuracy.
As a Lynk & Co 01 owner, I've learned oil checking through experience. First, ensure the car is parked on level ground with the engine off, waiting 7-8 minutes for oil to settle. Locate the dipstick under the engine, pull it out and wipe clean, reinsert fully then remove again to check if the oil stain is between MIN and MAX marks. If low, add the same specification oil; if overfilled, you may need to drain some. I recommend using genuine oil and avoiding mixing brands. Check every 500km during regular use to prevent roadside breakdowns. Although the Lynk & Co 01's digital display shows oil level, the physical dipstick is more reliable. Avoid checking immediately after highway driving to prevent misjudgment. The whole process is simple - consistent checks can save significant repair costs.
