I would do 10k intervals in my Honda Fit but a majority of my driving in that car was highway. I'd also need to add a quart after 7000 miles because of consumption.
I use my 09 Fit as a courier vehicle. I've driven over 80,000 miles in 14 months. If I did oil changes every 5k miles, I'd be under the car every 3 weeks.
I just follow the maintenance minder, which works out to 10k miles, give or take, but I've done that over all the 175,000 miles I've put on it in 10 years. I use Castrol GTX high mileage, but I'm sure it doesn't make much difference. I've seen a lot of stuff saying Walmart Supertech is probably just as good,if not better than name brand oils.
I do my own valve adjustments, and the inside of the engine is nice and clean...
I recommend K&N. Some say it helps the car feel sportier (not really that noticeable imo), but you can buy the cleaning kit (about $20) and reuse the filter. It’ll help you stay on top of maintenance since it’s a lot easier to clean it 2-3 times a year as opposed to buying a brand new one 2-3 times a year. You can clean the filters so many times with the cleaning kit too.
I bought the washable K&N’s now I just wash em when they look dirty
I just put Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on my Fit. Haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions.
My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery
Was the starter for my 2008. Only an issue when cold.
That was a starter hanging up in my 2008 Fit. Only when cold. Replaced the starter, problem went away.
This is 100% your starter motor. The solenoid isn't pulling the starter motor gear off the flywheel fast enough so it grinds. Gets worse in colder weather. The fix is a new starter motor
Once I got a chance to try them in the rain, I realized there was a problem compared to Michelin. I was fishtailing all over the place on a wet road. That’s never happened to me with Michelin.
