11 years and 125k

I am the first owner of my GE8. Oil changes with every 5000 miles with every type of synthetic oil there is (Mobil 1 both AFE and EP, Amsoil, Valvoline EP). Zero issues, and engine as clean as new. Trans fluid changed every 15K with OEM DW1 since 30 bucks for 3 quarts is cheap insurance. Replaced both axles and brake a few times. The best car I have ever owned. And I have had dozens.

What do you mean by "replaced both axles a few times"?

I am right here with you but with double the miles. Never had to do axles tho. Hell, I am like 250 and still on the original clutch.

I am way behind you guys at just under 30K miles. But I bought the Fit to be a daily driver so I will be piling on the miles!
