What type of engine oil should be used for the Lynk & Co 03?
2 Answers
The Lynk & Co 03 uses fully synthetic engine oil of the 0W20 grade. The Lynk & Co 03 is a compact sedan launched by Lynk & Co. In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with either a 1.5T or a 2.0T turbocharged engine. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines require higher-performance engine oil for better protection. The Lynk & Co 03 is the first sedan product under the Lynk & Co brand and also the first sedan built on the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform. The vehicle's body dimensions are 4639mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. In terms of features, the Lynk & Co 03 is equipped with technologies such as triple-screen interaction, cloud connectivity, remote app control, 17 intelligent driving assistance technologies, and active and passive safety technologies.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for over a year. As a new car owner, I didn't know much about engine oil initially. The manual recommends full synthetic oil, typically 0W-20 or 5W-30 depending on whether it's a 1.5T or 2.0T engine. I've used 5W-30 with good results - the engine runs smoothly and fuel consumption remains low. The dealer advised using ACEA A5/B5 standard oil and avoiding cheap no-name brands to prevent carbon buildup and engine damage. The oil change interval is usually every 5,000-7,500 km or every six months. I always get it changed at professional shops to ensure timely maintenance. Temperature and road conditions also matter: lower viscosity oil for quicker cold starts in winter, and better protection under high loads in summer. As a new car owner, I recommend regularly checking the dipstick. Engine oil is the lifeblood of your car - never neglect it. Proper maintenance ensures longevity and safety. Trying to save small money might lead to expensive repairs later.
