The Lynk & Co 03 uses fully synthetic engine oil with a viscosity grade of 0w-20. Below is an introduction to the Lynk & Co 03: 1. The Lynk & Co 03 is a compact sedan launched by Lynk & Co. In terms of power, this model is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T turbocharged engines. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines require higher-performance engine oil for better protection. 2. Fully synthetic engine oil offers superior fluidity and lubricity compared to other types of engine oils, naturally providing better protection for the engine. 3. There are three types of engine oils used in automobiles: mineral oil, fully synthetic oil, and semi-synthetic oil. Among these three types, fully synthetic oil performs the best, as it adapts to a wider range of temperatures and has a longer service life.

I just had my Lynk & Co 03+ serviced recently and did thorough research on engine oil selection. This 2.0T engine requires full synthetic oil, with the manufacturer recommending 0W-20 or 5W-30 viscosity. I prioritize engine protection, so I'm using Mobil 1 0W-30 - cold starts feel exceptionally smooth, and engine noise at high RPMs is significantly reduced. Actually, the key to choosing oil lies in certification standards; it must carry API SP or ACEA C5 certifications. For mainly city driving, I recommend changing oil around 8,000 km, which can be extended to 10,000 km if you frequently drive on highways. Never compromise with cheap mineral oil - turbocharged engines can't withstand that.

My 03+ has clocked nearly 50,000 kilometers, and I've been using Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 all along. This oil has exceptional cleaning properties—after three years, the engine internals remain spotless. Choosing engine oil depends on driving habits; for daily commuting like mine, medium viscosity is just right. Pay special attention to the certification labels on the bottle—it must meet the Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE standard. In areas with low winter temperatures, 0W-grade oil is recommended for better fluidity. When changing the oil, it's best to replace the oil filter as well—Mann or Mahle filters are good choices. With many counterfeit products online these days, I recommend buying from official channels for reliability.

When choosing engine oil for the 03+, three key factors should be considered: viscosity, certification, and base oil. The owner's manual specifies the use of 0W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic oil. Based on my experience, high viscosity index oils tend to last longer. The Castrol EDGE series performs well, especially the 5W-30 variant, with a high-temperature shear value above 3.5, ensuring stable oil film at high speeds. For those who drive more frequently in summer, 5W-40 can be considered, though it may slightly increase fuel consumption. Always check for certification marks on the container - dexos1 Gen2 or ILSAC GF-6 are acceptable. It's advisable to purchase from authorized dealers, as oil quality directly impacts turbocharger lifespan.

Which brand of engine oil is best for the Arrizo 5?

The Arrizo 5 originally uses SM-grade 10W-40 engine oil. As an economical model, the first choice is semi-synthetic oil. Individuals can decide whether to upgrade to full synthetic oil based on their financial capability. The Arrizo 5 engine does not have strict requirements for the brand of engine oil, as long as it meets the specifications. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it can maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the engine oil in the Arrizo 5 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

Why is the car lock symbol flashing on the Corolla dashboard?

The reason why the car lock symbol on the Corolla dashboard keeps flashing is that the anti-theft system is active. When the car doors are locked, the vehicle automatically enters anti-theft mode, at which time the key light will flash continuously. The engine's anti-theft system consists of an electronic chip embedded inside the car key. Each chip has a fixed ID, and the car can only start when the key chip's ID matches the engine's ID. If they don't match, the car will immediately cut off power automatically, preventing the engine from starting. When the car is left unlocked, the electronic anti-theft system enters sleep mode, and the warning light flashes once every 5 seconds. If the light is off, it means the anti-theft system is not functioning and has failed to enter the working state. In this case, you need to check the display settings to find the remote lock mode setting and enable the horn with light flashing when locking.

What Causes the Inaccurate Fuel Gauge in Cruze?

The main reason for the inaccurate fuel gauge in Cruze is an issue with the fuel level sensor. Below are the reasons for an inaccurate fuel gauge: 1. Fuel gauge needle fluctuates in speed This is a common occurrence, typically manifested as the fuel gauge needle dropping slowly in the first half of the gauge, then rapidly declining after passing the midpoint. However, the fluctuating speed of the fuel gauge needle cannot be considered a malfunction. This is related to the design of the fuel pump used to reflect fuel levels, which cannot uniformly indicate gasoline consumption. Achieving such uniform changes is difficult, and it cannot be altered through repairs or part replacements. 2. Fuel gauge suddenly drops to zero: The fuel gauge's indication depends on the fuel level sensor. When this happens, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's fuel level sensor. It is likely that the fuel level sensor has become contaminated and not cleaned promptly. It's important to note that gasoline contains many impurities, and the fuel level sensor, constantly submerged in it, can become polluted over time, directly affecting the accuracy of the readings. 3. Fuel gauge readings increase: This situation occurs because the linkage between the fuel level sensor and the float gets stuck, preventing the float from moving up and down normally. As a result, the fuel level sensor does not change, causing the fuel gauge needle to remain fixed at a certain position.

Is a Claim of Over 10,000 Yuan Considered a Major Accident for a Car?

Whether a car claim of over 10,000 yuan is considered significant depends on the type of insurance involved. For example, in auto damage insurance or property insurance, 10,000 yuan would be considered a large amount. However, in life insurance, 10,000 yuan would not be considered substantial. Below is more relevant information: 1. Follow-up procedures after a car claim: After a car accident, the policyholder should immediately report the incident to the traffic management authorities at the scene and promptly notify the insurance company. If the insured vehicle is stolen, robbed, or seized, the policyholder should report to the local public security department and the insurance company without delay and issue a public notice. 2. Premium payments to the insurance company: No claims: 20% discount in the second year, no claims in the second year, 30% discount in the third year. 1 to 2 claims: The discount for the following year remains unchanged, meaning a 30% discount stays at 30%, and a 20% discount stays at 20%. 3 claims: The following year's premium is paid without any discount. 4 claims: The following year's premium increases by 10%. 5 claims: The premium increases by 50%. More than 5 claims: The insurance company may refuse coverage.

Is It Serious to Scrape the Tire When Parking by the Side?

Scraping the tire when parking by the side is serious. It causes significant damage to the tire, as the sidewall is the thinnest part and may suffer catastrophic harm, leading to bulges or ruptures. Once the tire sidewall bulges, even if it hasn't ruptured, it must be replaced immediately; otherwise, it poses a high risk of blowout, threatening safety. Tires are one of the most critical components of a vehicle, so special attention must be paid to their maintenance: 1. Maintain distance: Keep a safe distance when driving at high speeds to avoid unnecessary or frequent braking, reducing tire wear. Also, for safety, monitor the tread depth; tires with nearly worn-out treads have reduced friction with the road, leading to longer braking distances—avoid high-speed driving with such tires. 2. Proper loading: There is a direct relationship between tire load and pressure. Overloading is similar to underinflation and can cause tire damage. Frequent overloading reduces tire lifespan by 20%-50%. Incorrect loading methods can also lead to uneven tire wear, causing some tires to bear excessive loads and shorten their lifespan. 3. Ensure proper pressure: Tire pressure is vital. The inflation pressure must comply with national standards for different types and specifications of tires. Regularly check tire pressure; both overinflation and underinflation can cause irregular wear, tread groove cracking, cord breakage, ply separation, and tire blowouts. For sustained high-speed driving, increase the pressure by 5%-10% above the standard. Note that tire pressure rises with temperature after driving—do not release air in this case. 4. Tire rotation: Rotate tires appropriately and timely (check during vehicle primary and secondary maintenance) to ensure even wear and extend lifespan. Install slightly larger-diameter tires on the outer wheels. 5. Tire selection: Avoid using retreaded tires on the front wheels. Prefer tires with vertical tread patterns for the front wheels and horizontal tread patterns for the rear wheels.

Where is the Lexus rearview mirror heating button located?

The Lexus rearview mirror heating button is located on the center control panel, above the hazard light button, and features an icon with three upward-pointing wavy arrows. Press this button to activate the rearview mirror heating function. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog from the mirror. This eliminates the need for drivers to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is required, as the driver's side has a dedicated adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly disappears, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirrors, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the car is running. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery and potentially leaving insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Slightly open the side windows to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Using the car's air conditioning: Adjust the air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow warm air, which helps remove fog.
