Hi,


Just have my Fit 2009 for 6 months and now hitting 7k miles. Time to change oil, any idea what is good juice for my dear? Regular, synthetic, 5w,10w or 15w? Any suggestion is appreaciated!

Recommended is 5w20

I personally use Schaffer's full synthetic 5w20

 

I just did whatever the manual said.....3.8 US qt. of API certified 5w20 and a new filter (I went with Valvoline oil, and a Bosch filter)..

Opinions vary greatly on this topic; you may find what your looking for faster by reading through one of the many existing threads regarding oil recommendations:

You're going to get 100 different answers for every 100 replies as to what oil to use. U.S. Fits are supposed to use 5w-20 weight. There are lots of good oil brands, but if you can't decide, I guess you could always use Honda oil.

 

Honda is very specific about this....5w20...just pick your brand.

 

Castrol 5w20 synthetic for me when i do my first oil change in a few months and i'll use a Honda oil filter..

 

on the Fit's i use 5W20 M1 silver cap and factory filter.

 

Just changed it today, 4260 miles. I put Mobil1 Synthetic 5w-20, with an A02 honda filter.

 

What did your oil life meter read at 4260? I have 3600 on mine, and the meter JUST dropped to 70% oil life remaining. At this rate, I will be looking at 15% somewhere around 9000 miles. Do I need to drive faster??

 

Mine was at 70% but I've been really really hard on it.

 

My uncle did first oil change yesterday at 3100km, use toyota 5w20 oil and factory filter.
He told me the Honda shop he work, only use bulk pack motomaster engine oil form Canadian tire.
