100,000 miles and counting in the Fit.

 

damn already ? nice...

 

Sure does. 102,000 or so at the moment actually. This summer I added 10,000 onto the odometer. Events included a coyote running into me at around 80mph.. Dodging Elk and almost flying off into a river/trees. it's been through a lot but still dead on reliable.

 

any mechanical problems you have encountered?
how many miles interval do you change the engine oil?

 

The only two issues I've had were 1. The AC wouldn't work unless turned on high at 65k due to a fuse that blew. I can't remember the name of the part, but it was located on the passenger side and Honda asked $500 to replace it. I got the part off Amazon for less than $100 and had it installed in less than 20min. 2. Both rear shocks leaking oil at 80k. This was probably all my fault. Me and a few of my friends drove up to a remote town in Colorado from St Louis missouri last year. The Fit had 4 men and 5 days of backpacking equipment loaded in it. The trip saw 112mph speeds in Kansas (I was a sleep at that time) driving up really rocky 4x4 trail to a cabin at 10,000 ft. Scooting up Pikes Peak.. and the drive back to Saint Louis. So I was really asking for it. It cost me $300 for new ones. Once I find some more money I'll be getting all new bilstein shocks due to the front shock needing replacing.. The only other thing I have a big issue with is the front fogs. Both broke within a year of it rolling off the lot. I replaced them this summer and just demolished one this week by a rouge rock. I put yellow film over the lenses and that's the only thing holding it together.. I've had enough! I'm going to build my own light housing using a Hella Fog module of some sort.

I've had my oil changed every 10k or when the oil is at 0%. I keep an eye on all the other fluid levels during that time. It's been pretty uneventful.
