Where is the oil dipstick of the Lynk & Co 03 located?

The oil dipstick of the Lynk & Co 03 is located in the engine compartment of the car, and the remaining oil level can be checked based on the markings on it. The Lynk & Co 03 was officially launched on October 19, 2018, at the Fuji International Speedway in Japan. Positioned as a trendsetting sports sedan, the Lynk & Co 03 comes in six models with three design styles: Pure, Style, and Pro. Engine oil has the function of reducing friction: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. Engine oil has a sealing function: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external pollutants from entering. Engine oil has an anti-rust function: Lubricating oil can adhere to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. Engine oil has a cushioning function: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston skirt, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load. Engine oil has a cleaning function: Good engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, and the flow of the lubricating oil washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for a while and noticed the oil dipstick is located in the engine compartment. Specifically, after opening the hood, look towards the front left area where there's a conspicuous yellow plastic pull ring. Checking the oil level is straightforward: park the car on level ground, let the engine cool for a few minutes, pull out the dipstick to wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then pull it out again to check the oil mark height - it should normally be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. The Lynk & Co 03's design is quite thoughtful with its brightly colored anti-slip handle, making it easy to locate. Regularly checking oil levels is crucial as insufficient oil can damage the engine. I've developed a habit of checking every two weeks - it's both convenient and preventive. If you can't find it, refer to the illustrated owner's manual.
As an enthusiast who often helps friends with car repairs, I'd say the Lynk & Co 03's oil dipstick layout is very intuitive. Just pop the hood and look toward the front of the engine, usually near the air filter – that orange or bright yellow pull tab is what you're after. Finding it takes less than a minute. If you're a beginner unsure about the location, clear the surrounding area first and take your time looking. Don't rush when checking the oil either – let the engine cool down for a while after turning it off, otherwise high oil temperature will give inaccurate readings. I always emphasize maintaining proper oil levels to protect the engine. If it's low, top it up promptly with the same specification oil – Lynk & Co recommends either 0W-20 or 5W-30 to prevent minor issues from turning into major repairs.
