What kind of fuel does the Lynk & Co 06 use?

[DanielMarie]

Lynk & Co 06 uses 95-octane gasoline. 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. When the engine has a high compression ratio, high-octane gasoline should be used. If low-octane gasoline is used with a high compression ratio, it can cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving performance. Lynk & Co 06 powertrain configuration: The Lynk & Co 06 is equipped with a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine. This engine delivers a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 255N·m, with a fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100km. It is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, offering advantages of high power, low fuel consumption, and low noise. Fueling precautions: Refer to the vehicle's manual to select the appropriate gasoline grade. Using gasoline with a lower octane rating than specified can cause engine knocking. Additionally, blindly using gasoline with a higher octane rating than required can also cause issues. High-octane gasoline burns more slowly, and if used in an engine with a low compression ratio, it can lead to delayed ignition, prolonged combustion time, and incomplete conversion of energy into power, resulting in sluggish acceleration while driving.

Having driven the Lynk & Co 06 for over half a year, my experience is that using 92-octane gasoline offers the best cost-performance ratio. In city driving, the fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is completely sufficient. 95-octane can also be used, providing slightly faster acceleration on highways, but at a higher cost. The choice of fuel grade actually depends on the engine compression ratio. This car has a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.0, so using 92-octane to prevent knocking is no problem. I previously used a hybrid version, and the same rules apply to avoid using the wrong fuel. Remember not to use blended fuel with excessive ethanol content, as it can affect the fuel system. Occasionally adding fuel system cleaner to remove carbon deposits is also a good practice. The car still runs smoothly even after 100,000 kilometers.

The Lynk & Co 06 is more suitable for using 92 or 95 octane gasoline. 92 octane saves money and fuel, while 95 octane burns more thoroughly with lower emissions. The engine design is adapted for higher octane fuel, and using the wrong type can easily cause malfunctions. For safety, always follow the manual's instructions.

My Lynk & Co 06 runs on regular 92-octane gasoline daily, which is cost-effective and practical, delivering low fuel consumption and smooth performance in city driving. However, if you frequently drive on mountain roads or highways, I recommend using 95-octane fuel to enhance anti-knock properties and prevent engine shuddering. The choice of fuel depends on the vehicle model version, with hybrid versions having similar fuel standards. Never use substandard or expired fuel—if the engine light comes on due to wrong fuel, seek immediate repair. When selecting gas stations, opt for reputable ones like Sinopec to ensure fuel quality.
