My 2009 has 228,000 miles. I bought it in 2014 with 126,000 miles. I did two trans fluid changes since owning it. I also use Mobil 1, high mileage 20,000 mile oil.
Change it at 20,000 miles. Runs like a new one.
The trick is, always let up on the gas pedal before it down shifts. As much as possible.
Nice work brother! Well done video.
Thanks!
Thank you good job
Great job
Good job with the video. Some guys aren't as clear as you were
Thank you!
Very nice video
Glad it helped!
Bought my Fit with about 114K miles and immediately changed the fluid. Noticed that my plug magnet was not very strong any longer so I replaced that and literally noticed a big amount of strength between the old and new. They're cheap and good to do on a high-mileage vehicle. Thanks for your video.
I agree!
@@emtproductions68 Does the American Honda Fit sport 1.5 2010 year have an automatic transmission or cvt?
@Giorgi Iobashvili here in the states they are automatics! Hope this helps!
Thanks
No problem! Glad to be of assistance!!
Спасибо Вам большое
nice sir, very informative video..im doin this later on my jazz 2012 👍👍👍.. by the way manual says, only use honda genuine cvt oil, is it always required?
So you don't have to use honda genuine fluid but use what ever spec is equivalent! Also here in the states the 2009-2013 fit are equipped with 5speed conventional automatic transmissions so the do NOT take cvt fluid! Please verify that yours is truly a cvt before continuing! Thanks!
3 out and 3 in with Genuine DW1 every other oil change since new 2012 Fit. Zero issues in 118K miles. Yes, over kill but cheap insurance imo. Amsoil the engine oil though. Only DW1 since day one.
Oh ya! The orange fit has 250k! And still runs and drives perfect! Thanks to preventive maintenance! Keep it up and it will out last you! Lol
Great video.. So basically just put the funnel into where the oil dip stick goes and pour the oil into that?
Yes sir!
Thanks, I manged to change mine with the help of this video. Is engine oil change much the same except different drain and entry point?
GREAT! Glad to help! And yes! Drain plug is on the back of the motor and oil filter is located in the front! I will be posting a video soon showing how to change the oil in the fit and most cars!
I made a video showing the basics of an oil change for ya! Tell me of it helps!
Great informative video, is this gearbox oil change on a 1.3 lt engine tks?
No sadly this a 1.5 with a 5speed auto its a US spec car!
Love this video! I was going to change my transmission fluid but the drain plug was to tight, how do I loosen it? I was so frustrated.
Ya they are tight! Just use a longer 3/8 or a 1/2 with a 3/8 conversion!
@@emtproductions68 Thank you! I will definitely try that!
are there filters on a Honda Jazz for the gearbox? Looking at other vids for a fit so querying?
Hello! It's on the top back of the transmission! You have to remove the air box and battery to get to it but it's pretty straight forward! Hope this helps!
Dealer recommended on the AT for 2nd Gen. is 30k miles. I use the Honda OEM fluid for my 2011 and change washer each time. Three quarts out and three in. You can do this procedure three times if your feeling motivated. But this is easier than a sealed Toyota trans.
Oh ya! Its great how serviceable Honda has made these cars!
make sure to check the transmission fluid level when the car is hot, and level. I would imagine the fluid is checked with the engine off like my Odyssey (correct me if Fit is different)? I would not keep the level over full hot when the engine and transmission are hot.
What are the inner and outer dimensions for the crush washer? Thanks.
I believe its a 18mm inner... not positive on the outer BUT I have not replaced the factory one since new and have never had a leaking issue... they are plentiful on Amazon if you broke/lost the OE one... I recommend a factory Honda washer from the dealer cause they have proven to be VERY reliable.... hope this helps!
Thank you, the job went great.
Quick question. My manual says change every ~50,000 km and you recommend more frequent changes. I am curious how did you come to your current routine?
Glad to be of help! Well my vehicles all have well over 100k and one has 350k! All on the original engine and trans! Also its easy to just drop the fluid with oil changes that I just do it! Hope this helps!
I like to do mine with honda genuine atf every 3 to 4 oil changes, which is every 12-20k km
Good video! I was at the Honda dealership and looked at 2010 Fit with 124k miles. Is there anything I should be looking at, problem wise?
Honeslty, they are SOLID vehicles! I have 4! And as far as issues go... there are none that I know of! Mine has 260k, and my neighbors has 650k!!! Original engine and trans!!! Just change your fluids often and your golden!
Very good cars but the coils on plug tend to malfunction on higher mileage ones, but it's no big deal though
Excellent video! My 2012 Fit Sport has 127,000 miles on it and Honda wants to do a drain/flush, then refill. Is the flush really necessary? I’ve heard that it sometimes results in a slipping transmission. Would a simple drain/refill be better? Thanks again for your helpful video.
I have 300k on 1 and 280k on another. I have just been draining and filling since both since under 100k! So a flush isn't necessary on these cars, but I would change the fluid more often than recommend... really depends on your driving habits... I hope this helps!
@@emtproductions68 Thanks, again. I’ll do the replacement but without a flush.
One drain and fill does not change all the fluid. If it has been a long time since a fluid change, or not at all, you should do a change, and then drive it 5-6 miles using all of the gears, and do another change. That will cycle out most of the old fluid.
It’s unfortunate that you put “background” music on the video 😩
How many liters of Honda Fit American 2010 gearbox oil is needed? I think it is automatic. How to choose automatic or tiptronic?
So be careful as these cars did come with a cvt in other countires! But if it is equipped with the 5speed auto it takes 2.8 qts of DW1 fluid! Hope this helps!
So whats the proper ATF level sir? Should be in between the checkered mark ("xxx") ?
YES! but it needs to be warm! I honestly just put 3qts and it's always right on the money! I believe spec is like 2.8... hope this helped!
@@emtproductions68 thank you so much for the big help.
How often do you change your transmission? Is it every month?
While there is no harm in changing the fluid as often as you like... I go 10k between changes for me personally... but at the very least twice a year or every 6 month if you don't put a lot of miles on... if you do a lot of city driving i recommend every 3 month! Hope this helps!
EMT thanks for that! It’s really helpful.
Can you do this same procedure to an automatic
This is the exact procedure for the automatic!
Do you think that castrol or amsoil are much better than oem honda fluids
Nope! I think OEM fluids are way to go if your spending money or not switching fluids often! BUT... dont get me wrong they are amazing fluids and probably even better then OEM scientifically but OEM is what the car is engineered/tested with so if I'm spending Castrol or amsoil money I'd go OEM all day just for the peace of mind sorry for the long answer! Hope this helps!
My Honda dealer has it cheaper than the Castrol, Valvoline and the OE fluid at the dept part stores
we are a lot here with a Fit doing more than 10- 12 liters for 100km. My old 2009 was doing 5-7 for 100 km.... nobody at Honda can answer. The new one 2014 is double the gas of my old 2009. same guy same habits.
Hi, Thank you for this Video, I would just ask you if MOTUL Multi CVTF is good for the HONDA FIT GE8 2009 CVT ? because i was using the genuine Fluid but as it becomes very expensive (more than 200$ the 4 liters Package) I want to change it for another Brand Like Castrol or MOTUL ...
And As i Saw that the MOTUL Multi CVTF Fluid color is BLUE !!! and the Honda CVTF color is Light Red,
I had a lot of doubts when I saw that the color is different than the genuine one, when i put once an ATF MOTUL with Yellow Color, and the transmission was making some weird sounds between the Third and 4th transmission Gear !
and now, when i read behind the alternative fluids that this FLUID isn't good fot Honda Vehicules that have a (WET STARTING CLUTCH) !!! and i want to know if the Honda fit GE8 2009 CVT is having that WET starting clutch !!!
I know that i asked you a lot of questions but the answer will save me !
Many thanks to all of you.
Regards,
iMad
Hey buddy, thanks for watching the video. I tried to dig up some info on the cvt ge8, but sadly, I wasn't able to get too far... but I hope what I was able to dig up helps! So the first generation cvt transmissions take just dw1 fluid, same as in the video... second generation cvt transmissions take a special hcf-2... I'm unsure which your vehicle takes sadly... but color varies and should never be used as an indication of fluid type... I hope this helps! Thanks!
Do you change the filter?
Sorry for the late response but nope never have!
The strainer doesn't need to be replaced
Cuántos lts lleva el Fit 2009 transmisión automática??
i think about 3 liters
What year is this car?
2009 Honda Fit
The inside of mine looks nothing like yours... it’s all dirty/dusty 😬
Hello! yes this particular vehicle has quite a few miles and is used as a rental and uber vehicle! So it sees a lot more abuse then a standard personally used vehicle!
@nashty13will8 Same with mine. Time to get it cleaned! :)
Chrisfix has some informative videos on how to do a good job on cleaning the engine bay. Just don't spray the engine with water, whatever you do. Lolz.
