Hi everyone! - New member

Hi other Honda Fit owners,

First of all thank you for letting me in this community, I'm a bit lost regarding maintenance and really looking forward to find some guidance so any help would be much appreciated.

I bought my Honda fit (brand new) back in April 2018 and I've been the only owner. I've been always changing the oil within the date range as provided by my shop (Mr. Lube here in Canada), fluids (engine coolant, washer fluids), and filters (air filter & cabin filter). I always try to not drive the car with less than a 1/4 fuel tank because I know it's not good for the fuel pump and also it can reach some sediments at the bottom of the fuel tank. I also get I fuel injector cleaner every ~6 months. In the winter I normally change the tires to winter tires and then after it I change them back to all season ones.

Besides that, I haven't done any major services to it and I'm starting to worry I'm a bit behind, my biggest fear is that because I haven't done some maintenance service I've caused a major problem to my car not so far down the road.

So my question now is how often should I service for these items? (never been serviced/changed before)
  1. Transmission fluid
  2. Brake fluid
  3. Spark plugs
  4. Power steering
  5. Serpentine Belt
  6. Timing Belt
  7. Fuel Filter
I've read the manual and it doesn't really specify when or at what km mark should I service these. My car is Honda fit 2018, with 52,037km. I'd rank the usage of it as from normal to light use since it's only my wife and me (no kids) but really I use it ~99% of the time and we don't carry/haul anything heavy, besides some light camping gear and the regular grocery shop weight.

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated, if this topic is already addressed in another thread please just let me know and I'll get to it.

Thank you! Happy Saturday!
