I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for almost three years now, and I've done some research on oil changes. The factory recommends 0W-20 full synthetic oil, and I've been using Shell Helix Ultra myself. The engine runs particularly quiet with it. The 4S shop technician mentioned that this car must use low-ash oil, otherwise it could clog the GPF particulate filter. It's especially important not to skimp and use mineral oil—I tried a cheaper option once, and the engine shook badly during cold starts. Now, I change the oil every 8,000 km. It's actually better to change it earlier than the manual's recommended 10,000 km for the engine's sake. Also, a quick reminder: it's best to replace the oil filter along with the oil for a thorough change.
