Hey,

Bought a 2012 Fit 1330cc with 55k miles on the clock. Was wonder how often should I service my car (change oil, timing belt, general ware and tear)

Thanks 🙂

 

It has a schedule and will tell you when things are due.

Oil - 5000-7500 miles. I did mine when the minder told me too.
There is no timing belt it has a chain so don't worry about it.
I would do a ATF drain and fill at 60k miles if it's an auto.
Check the accessory belt

 

People have posted this. I don't agree with some of it (especially air filter, cabin filter, lube locks, etc), but here you go:

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
Oil & Filter Change @ 5k
Inspect Tire Pressure @ 5k
Check Fluid Levels @ 5k
Inspect Belts, Tread, & Hoses @ 5k

Tire Rotation @ 10k
Check Brake Pads & CV Joint Boots (with Tire Rotation) @ 10k
Check Light Bulbs @ 10k
Cabin Filter @ 50k

Air Filter @ 50k
Lubricate Locks, Hinges, Latches @ 50k
Fuel System Treatment @ 50k
Trans Fluid & Filter @ 50k
Brake Fluid Flush @ 50k
Inspect Water Pump @ 50k
Clean/Space Spark Plugs @ 50k
Replace Spark Plugs @ 100k

Coolant Flush @ 100k
Replace Ignition Coils @ 100k
Valve Adjustment @ 50k
PCV Valve & Grommet (with valve adjustment) @ 100k

 

Much appreciated

 

Thanks, no mine's a 5 speed manual imported from Japan. Quite rare in my country cause most imports are auto

 

You are fortunate to get a manual tranny. More fun to drive and better gas mileage. Just be sure to not lug the engine...keep the rpms up. Honda's love to rev.

 

Mostly will be city driving and stop go traffic unfortuantelly, but will try to up the revs between changing gears, thanks for the tip

 

I might have phrased that wrong.
What I meant was to not drive in too high of a gear. In city driving, use the lower gears..instead of slipping it into 4th or 5th. It's not good for an engine to be driven in a high gear at a low speed. Watch your tach until you get used to it.

 

THanks mate

 

Note that some data on this site is in miles vs kilometers. Also your Japan spec car may differ from the North Amercan cars typically discussed here.

 

How often, depends on how you interpret your "clock"
