The first period for Lynk & Co vehicles is between 3-5 months, with the first maintenance mileage ranging from 3,000 km to 5,000 km, and in some cases even up to 8,000 km. The first maintenance for a new car is quite special, as it differs from subsequent car maintenance which typically follows a set cycle. Generally, manufacturers specify both the time and mileage for the first maintenance, whichever comes first. Therefore, even if the mileage hasn't been reached by the time the first maintenance is due, it is necessary to proceed with the maintenance in advance, which poses no significant issues for the car. First maintenance includes: Changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking all vehicle lights, fluid levels, functionality of the electrical system, inspecting tires and adjusting tire pressure, examining the condition of all chassis components, checking for leaks in the engine and transmission, and ensuring they are functioning normally. Additionally, a professional diagnostic device will be used to conduct a computer scan of the entire vehicle and reset the maintenance reminder. First maintenance mileage: Different brands and models may have varying requirements, but most require the first maintenance to be performed between 3,000 km and 5,000 km. Some brands and models may require the first maintenance to be done at around 8,000 km to 10,000 km.

I remember when I first got my Lynk & Co 06, I was also particularly concerned about the first . The official manual clearly states that the first maintenance is at 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, whichever comes first. I went for mine at around 8 months with approximately 9,000 kilometers, and the 4S store said it was completely fine. Full synthetic oil can easily last until 10,000 kilometers, but if you frequently drive on rough roads or face severe traffic congestion in the city, you might want to do it a bit earlier. Remember to bring the maintenance manual for the first service, which includes an oil and filter change plus a full vehicle inspection, all free of charge. Don’t wait until you exceed the mileage, as it could affect your warranty, which would be a big loss.

As a seasoned driver, let me remind you: Never fall for the dealership's early first- pitch on your Lynk & Co 06! This car comes factory-filled with full synthetic oil, and both the manual and dashboard will automatically pop up maintenance reminders at 10,000 km. I just did my first maintenance last month - made sure to take a photo when the odometer hit 9999. The dealership will run computer diagnostics on the engine while checking tire pressure and brake pads. Surprisingly, fuel consumption dropped slightly post-maintenance; the mechanic explained it's because metal debris from the new engine's break-in period was thoroughly cleaned. Remember to book via mobile app beforehand - saves you 30 minutes of queue time.

Personal experience sharing: The Lynk & Co 06's first is strictly set at either 10,000 kilometers or one year. But pay attention to one detail—the countdown starts from the day you take delivery of the car. A friend of mine didn't drive for three months due to a business trip, and when he went for maintenance in the 13th month, it was rejected, costing him over 700 yuan extra. It's recommended to schedule an appointment at around 9,000 kilometers—don't cut it too close. During maintenance, keep an eye on the engine oil specification—it must be 0W-20 full synthetic. Last time, the mechanic topped up the windshield washer fluid and even helped remove small stones stuck in the tires—quite attentive service.

As someone who has worked in auto repair, let me tell you, the 10,000 km first interval for the Lynk & Co 06 is scientifically justified. The BHE15 engine uses low-tension piston rings paired with Shell Helix Ultra synthetic oil - the oil performance curve only reaches its optimal replacement point at 10,000 km. I've personally tested it with an oil analyzer - at 7,500 km all parameters still showed excellent condition. But new owners should note: don't panic about the percentage progress bar on the infotainment screen. It only reaches 100% at exactly 10,000 km, so don't waste money on premature service just because the progress looks alarming.
