Maintenance letters = what mileage?

Does anyone know the approximate mileage for each of the maintenance letters? I've been changing my oil whenever the maintenance reminder lights up without really looking at the letter. Now that I'm up to 30,000 miles, I probably should be doing more, like changing the air filter. I know A = 7,000 miles. What's B, C, D, E?

There is only an A and B and they just mean change the oil. When it comes with the numbers 1-5 that means other things.

Example: A12 - Change oil, rotate tires and change engine and cabin air filters.

Its all in the fits owners manual.

I want to be able to convert those letters and numbers to mileage. I haven't been paying attention. Whenever the little wrench light goes on, I change my oil and nothing else.

They do not convert to miles at all, they determine which Letter and Number appears by how you drive the car. If you drive it in a rough way the maint. minder will come on more often, you should be doing maint. according to what numbers appear, not just an oil change.

It says all of this in your owners manual.

1=rotate tires

I've got 53K (miles) on my Fit. The only code I have gotten other than oil and filter and tire rotation was, as the Fit approched 30K, I got code 2, air filters and check belts.

I have the manuals, I just haven't been paying attention to the codes like I should. Seems like there should be mileage equivalents to those codes for normal driving, or at least a way of downloading the code history just in case you miss something.
