Which type of engine oil is suitable for the Lynk & Co 03?
2 Answers
The Lynk & Co 03 uses fully synthetic engine oil with a viscosity grade of 0W-20. The Lynk & Co 03 is a compact sedan launched by Lynk & Co. In terms of power, this model is equipped with either a 1.5T or 2.0T turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines require higher-performance engine oil for better protection. Here is more detailed information about this vehicle: 1. In terms of power, the Lynk & Co 03 is powered by the Drive-E series 1.5TD high-efficiency engine. The turbo kicks in at 1000 rpm, delivering 150 N·m of torque. At 1500 rpm, the engine reaches its peak torque of 265 N·m. The turbo responds quickly, providing fast low-speed response, making hill climbing and overtaking easier. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time is just 7.9 seconds. 2. The Lynk & Co 03 2.0TD is equipped with Volvo's Drive-E 2.0TD series engine, with a maximum power output of 140 kW (190 PS) and a peak torque of 300 N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving my Lynk & Co 03 for two years, and this car is particularly picky about engine oil. The owner's manual is the most reliable reference—it requires using low-ash full synthetic oil that meets the Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE standard, either 0W-20 or 5W-30. Don’t use regular oil randomly, or the particulate filter will clog! I’ve always used the original Shell OEM oil at the 4S shop, and even after 8,000 km, the engine still runs smoothly. If you buy it yourself, look for ACEA C5 or SP-grade certifications, such as Mobil 1 EP 0W-20 or Shell Helix Ultra 0W-30, but be careful to avoid counterfeits. A small tip: in winter, especially in northeastern China, it’s best to use 0W-grade oil for better low-temperature fluidity.
