I'm a few weeks away from turning 100K miles on my 2012 FIT Sport Auto. Did a few searches here but can't seem to find a real guide for what maintenance is due. I have regularly done my own oil/filter changes @ 10K miles. Have been doing air filters and transmission fluid drain/fills regularly as well.

For the 100K, not sure. I'm considering plugs and ignition wires for sure. Should I consider Ignition Coils also? Anything else?

The maintenance minder will tell you what needs to be done. I wouldn't replace the coil packs until they are bad. Ignition wires are more for distributor cars not coil on plug.

 

I agree. The coil packs operate at 100% until they don't / fail. My local dealer wants $160 ea. Even if you buy over the internet, it's a needless expense until there is a failure and there isn't any guarantee that a brand new coil pack will last longer than a 10 yr old one. Loose spark plugs seem to cause more problems than bad coil packs.

 

I'm at 97.5k and planning to do a bunch of maintenance this spring at around 102-105k, here's my plan:

-Coil packs
-Spark Plugs
-Valve Adjustment
-MTF (I have 5MT, ATF for 5AT is definitely a good idea, props for keeping an eye on it yourself btw)
-Cabin Filter (I do mine every spring)
-Engine Air Filter (Every other spring)
-Accessory Belt
-Brake Fluid
-End links (Okay, I'm replacing these in the next couple weeks because they've already perished, if you hear a knocking noise from your suspension at low speeds it is probably that)
-Suspension Dampers

Hoping that will give me another 100k mostly reliable miles.

 

Lubricating locks is an interesting one. Not a bad idea on top of the normal stuff you'd think of.

I am so far from 100K .. maybe I'll hit 50K in the next two years! But I have already changed ATF once.

I have never changed brake fluid or found any symptoms suggesting I should .. even on higher mileage cars. What kind of malady does this fix? (Ie what to watch out for).

 

A soft brake pedal is a result of old fluid, among other stuff

 

Good lists here!

FYI, Honda calls for the brake fluid to be replaced every 2 years regardless of mileage. I do ours about every 3 years.

On a GD, I definitely would not replace working ignition coils. With a GE, the case could be made for changing them at 100k just because they are much less accessible.

 

 

Actually - if the water remained incompressible the only problem you would have is the possibility of rust or corrosion buildup inside the brake system. Unfortunately, water can boil when it is near hot brake components and small steam bubbles may form. These bubbles are compressible and that's what gives you the soft pedal.

 

I agree with you regarding the coil packs, but IMO the maintenance minder can be kind of sketchy. The computer on my car can't calculate correct MPG within 8-10 mpg. (There's a TSB about that, but it seems to involve dealer reprogramming.) Also - the memory minder and the corresponding Service Codes in the Owner's Manual do not even mention the external transmission oil filter. Many dealers don't know this part exists. (It's hidden under the air filter housing.) Dealers only seem to be aware of the internal transmission filter (screen).

When you have a written list, you can plan your maintenance events in advance (i.e. before a big trip) and group several items together for convenience. When you rely on the maintenance minder you get no advance warning.
