GK5 Maintenance Diary
* MODS - If this is in the wrong location, please move *
I figured I'd start a diary/log of my maintenance. Partly so I can keep track of my own stuff, but also to share with others what has been done, and at what mileage 23,500 mi 04/2018 = Purchased the car https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...4617f1c879.jpg 24,000 mi 05/11/2018 = K&N Engine Air Filter 05/11/2018 = K&N Cabin Air Filter https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...340ba2d251.jpg 28,500 mi 06/27/2018 = Tires (Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 H457 195/50 R15) https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...f4e8ca727f.jpg 30,000 mi 07/08/2018 = Oil Change + Bottle Of Techron Fuel Inj Cleaner https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...a048bf47d5.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ca67db9060.jpg 32,500 mi 08/05/2018 = Stock Air Box Removed (end k&n engine air filter) 08/05/2018 = Weapon R Intake Installed 08/05/2018 = Oil Catch Can https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...b561d05eae.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...4d2202702b.jpg 34,500 mi 09/30/2018 = Bottle Of Techron Fuel Inj Cleaner https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...6c52e973d5.jpg 35,000 mi 10/09/2018 = Tein Coilovers https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...33811ba2b0.jpg 37,500 mi 11/06/2018 = Oil Change + Toe Alignment + Rotate Tires https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ac65e8c0d1.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...e180f54ad6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...088ef38b91.png 40,000 miles 12/08/2018 = a bottle of techron + new brake pads/calipers/rotors and ss lines https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...fd7a2e3b08.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...fb87e6fc5e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...7eb5f371f9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ad91879a20.jpg |

Btw, suggestions/input are welcome |
Are you also keeping tabs on whether the fuel efficiency of the Fit is changing before/after your maintenance? For example, steady decline in MPG, changed air filter, MPG at xx.x.
|
yes and no. not in depth to the tune of "replaced engine air filter, mpg increased to X" .... BUT .... when I do my fuelly logs, I do put notes in there. also, when/if I see big dips in mpg, I immediately would notice and take action if needed.
if I make a change that increased mpg, I try my best to share. Example .... lighter wheels + tires + higher psi = mpg increase. or, roof vortex generators = no mpg change. etc etc. 2015 Honda Fit (Honda Fit) | Fuelly https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...59a6b11888.png https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...a909cefba8.png |
Ahh, yes, Fuelly. I should utilize that to help me keep track. I am happy whenever I get north of 30 in the Fit - the other two (MDX, Odyssey) average 28mpg....downhill! :D

12/08/2018 - 40k miles:
-dumped a bottle of techron -new brake pads/calipers/rotors and ss lines https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...53084c20bc.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...fb87e6fc5e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...7eb5f371f9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ad91879a20.jpg |
I hadn't realized that you put a sad Fit back on the road. Was it previously totaled? Nice work getting it back on the road.
That first picture is almost comical. It looks like a bomb went off inside the car and blew the doors, bumper, etc off. Funny and sad at the same time. |
it is indeed, salvage title. a few things I avoid if/when I buy such a car:
-deployed air bags -water/flood related damage -anything that touched the motor -frame damage (non repairable) in this case, it was just the right amount of damage .... in teh right amount of non critical areas ... to put the bill over a certain total .... which results in a "total loss". IIRC, alot of insurance companies will total out a car if you go over 75% of acv (here in CA anyway) funny story, my prev car (lexus ct) was 5% away from being "a total loss" by virtue of simple rear ender, which did not deploy air bags .... of the near 20k in damages... a crap ton of it was just labor alone |
huh, i didnt know it was a salvaged car. i did notice earlier on that the silver paint wasnt consistent on the doors but didnt think too much of it. thought maybe a small fender bender watever. GJ on the car.

03/21/2019 = 45892 = new coolant (after accident)
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...811f01c69c.png 04/03/2019 - 47000 = rotate tires (directional tires, left front to left rears -> left rears to left front..... same side, no criss crossing) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...7a8b108703.png 04/03/2019 = 47172 = t revhttps://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...aa2854190e.jpg |
04/06/2019 - Oil Change + Dumped Out Oil Catch Can, 47500 miles
Oil = Mobil 1 0w-20, Extended Performance, High Mileage Formula Filter = Purolator "BOSS" (Both Items Rated for 15k) Catch Can At About 30ml factoring residue stuck in the steel wool ball, and a little bit left in the can itself https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...dd5c8f0d4a.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...0956a16d10.jpg |
04/07/2019 - Cleaned K&N Cabin Air Filter, 48k
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...da924a8f06.jpg 04/07/2019 - Cleaned K&N Engine Air Filter, 48k https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...e27a3855a2.jpg |
05/05/2019 - 50k miles:
-dumped a bottle of techron https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...53084c20bc.jpg |
05/11/2019 - 51k = Re Greased Moog "Problem Solver" End Links
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...2119645977.png 05/11/2019 - 51k = rotate tires (directional tires, left front to left rears -> left rears to left front..... same side, no criss crossing) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...7a8b108703.png NOTE: EARLY to the rotation this go around .... this was due to loss of traction, in wet conditions. I noticed the fronts have much less tread compared to the rears, and this will more than likely be the last rotation, until a brand new set of tires are purchased in the near future. |

Was the trade-off better handling?
it was unintended. when I made the purchase, I assumed it'd all be the same. I was super wrong pros: -less noise / more comfy ride -cost, $45 a tire cons: -bad mpg |
