Maintenance Minder sequence so far
I was always curious when certain things would show up on the maintenance minder - and now finally all items 1-5 have been displayed.
The maintenance minder comes on about every 14,500 km (9000 miles). The maintenance intervals may be higher than some because most driving is on the highway.
Unless I made a mistake jotting in the owner's manual, so far the maintenance minder sequence has been:
A 1
B 1
A 12
B 1
A 1
B 12
A 1
B 1
A 12
B 1 3
A 1 4
B 12 5
Perhaps the sequence will now almost repeat itself???
I change the oil filter every time even though Item B indicates changing the oil filter every other time. On the other hand, I think Europeans are told to change their filters every 20,000 km (12,000 miles).
Perhaps (???) item 5 (replace engine coolant) could be done along with item 4 (inspect valve clearance) since draining the engine coolant is part of the procedure for inspecting the valve clearance.
Wear & tear - I'm on my 3rd set of tires, 2nd set of front brakes, 2nd set of headlight bulbs, 2nd set of front park lights, and 4th set of windshield wipers.
Haven't needed any other repair parts except for these normal wear & tear parts. Gotta love Honda reliability. Which is why I decided on the Fit even before reading any reviews - just wanted Honda's smallest car for it's reliability. The handling and space were unexpected bonuses.
