Honda Fit Sport 2013 parked for 5 months
Hi, my Honda Fit Sport was parked for 5 months and I've got it back on the road since last week. I changed the rear wiper, flushed the coolant, replaced battery, detailed it, upgrades tyres to 205/55/R16, and finally new headlight bulbs.
It currently has 84k kms.
Before parking the car I switched to synthetic. Oil life is currently 50%.
What I'm thinking of doing next is spark plugs, serpentine belt, air filter, pollen filter, another synthetic oil change, replace power steering fluid, and auto trans fluid.
Is all of this really necessary?

Add brake fluid to that list.
Timing on some of the items listed it's early, some late if never done before. But it's reasonable to do all of them on a car of that mileage and age.
*Edit* I see you said kilometers, not miles. Then you're definitely early on coolant and the belt change.

There is no power steering fluid, these cars have electric power steering.
Also 205/55/16 is too tall, you're throwing off the speedometer/gearing a bit. 205/50/16 is the correct size if you want the increased width for some reason.

After switching the tires I have a cyclical sound coming from the rear passenger tire. I need new rubber but don't want to spend $550 Canadian on low grade tires. I have a mechanic friend offering $240 for new generic rubber. I think I'll go with that until I can afford something nice for the summer. Idk
UPDATE: Retourqed the wheels....sound is gone now!!!
