Originally Posted By: Falken On my Honda Fit the change is a pain. First, the plugs from the dealer were over 100$ for the 4. So I started planning. Got them, after shipping and everything, for ~50$ a pack of 4 OEM NGK from Rock Auto. Ordered a few days ago the cowl clips for 10$ USD...

Service manual really didn't say much for reset of the ECM/TCM to allow relearning. Not sure how "adaptive" the fit transmission actually is but I did reset it after a week or so of lousy shifts after the 2nd d&f. Didn't change anything.... Afternoon showers has prevented me from doing 3rd d&f...

Originally Posted By: ltslimjim I have tiny arms and I still get burned. By the way, how do you prefer to fill the new ATF? Fill bolt or dipstick? I have one of those long plastic funnels, but it's one piece (not a flexible tube attached to a neck). It seems like removing the air filter box...

Originally Posted By: KlubMarcus Did you check the ATF level 60-90 seconds after the engine is turned off? My CR-V manual says that specifically. Honda wants you to check the ATF after it's warm and settles. Is that step in your FIT manual also? I don't recall the 60-90 seconds after shutdown...

The blue OEM Honda filter (dont know part # off hand) for my wife's 07 fit 1.5 i4 is a rebadged fram orange can. I've always ran Mobil 1 m1-110 filters on her car until recently switching to the amsoil ea15k13. Was not impressed by the Honda filter. I would take a wix/napa over the Honda any day.

Originally Posted By: Bill_G A Honda drain/refill takes only a few minutes. That would not have been a problem had any of the dealers around me had Z-1 in stock (A few had a couple quarts in the bottom of 55gal bulk drums) and they did not recommend DW-1 at the time even though Honda did...
