What kind of engine oil should a Lynk & Co 03 use?
2 Answers
Lynk & Co 03 uses fully synthetic engine oil with a 0W-20 viscosity grade. Below is extended information about engine oil: Precautions for changing engine oil: Before changing the engine oil, the engine should be turned off for half an hour to allow excess oil to flow back from the cylinder walls to the oil pan, ensuring thorough drainage. Different types of engine oil should not be mixed. If switching from premium to regular oil, the original oil must be completely drained, and the lubrication system should be cleaned thoroughly to avoid mixing. Methods for selecting engine oil: Engine oil selection should be based on the engine's requirements. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, it is advisable to use lower-viscosity oil to ensure smooth oil flow. During high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, higher-viscosity oil is beneficial for forming an oil film and reducing engine wear.
The Lynk & Co manufacturer's manual clearly states that the 03 requires 0W-20 viscosity oil, specifically low-ash ACEA C5 grade. I particularly remind owners to check the certification icons on the oil container - those labeled with SP and C5 are generally correct. Don't underestimate these standards; our Volvo-technology engines are quite delicate. Using high-ash oil improperly may clog the particulate filter, and repairs could be costly. The dedicated oil at 4S shops is usually Shell OEM. If purchasing independently, opting for fully synthetic oils like Mobil ESP or Shell Helix Ultra is most worry-free. After all, this car already saves enough by running on 92-octane fuel.
