Yes i’ve done a lot of oil changes on Hondas. I’ve worked at a oil change place and you did a phenomenal job. I didn’t know there was a torque specification for the drain plug and also I didn’t know there. Was those little triangles on the oil filter very cool very happy to see you doing it the right way I didn’t know there was the right way. 😅
Max, you’re the best! I don’t ever plan on ever changing the oil of my car on my own, yet your amazing personality just made me watch this video to the end! I’m happy for your next chapter and can’t wait to see more content from you. 😃
I own a 2008 Fit Sport too. When I change my own oil, I made my own "Honda Fit Oil Only" jug that is marked off at 3.8 quarts of oil. Prior to the next oil change I fill this specially marked oil jug (formerly held 5.0 quarts of 5W-20 full synthetic oil) to the 3.8 quart level and then dump the whole jug into my oil pan. I still double-check the oil level with my dip stick when the car is on level ground and has had 10 minutes or so to settle into the oil pan to get an accurate reading. I have never heard of not replacing an oil filter at each oil change, so I think I will keep doing what I am doing. Rock Auto sells Wix and Mobil1 Extended Performance oil filters for less than $9.00 (about half of what traditional retailers charge). I recommend buying several oil filters at a time to save on shipping costs.
Great vid! I'd always change the oil filter with the oil, it's cheap enough and you're under the car anyways. I like to run some high pea injector cleaner a couple weeks before an oil change too, it's served me well over the years. They are brilliant little cars
I used a torque wrench… no poking fun at you from this direction. Saves the plug from being over tightened or too loose, so why wouldn’t you use a torque wrench if you have one.
thank you, super informative video! by the way, what is that MPG gauge on your dashboard? it seems nice, especially since my 07 fit doesn't have a display for mpg
