I run aftermarket heated car seats during my lunch hour at work with the engine off, key on. Other cars in the rotation I don't think about because they have 24F batteries and the 1 hour of usage never affects starting at the end of the workday. Now though I've added a Fit to the mix with an...

Not mine, but this was in our parking lot a week or two ago. Even for here, this is bad.

No TV and other bands work but note the antenna has gone AWOL.

Mine winks and says hello.

I have a '15 Fit (DI; non Turbo). Would it be beneficial to cover the open with a piece of cardboard to help the engine heat up quicker, maybe make it run hotter, to mitigate the dilution problem? Back in the day this was common but I can't remember the last time I saw this trick. This will be...

Here we go! Filled from the top. When it spilled out, lowered so it would be level to drip some more, then I jacked up to close the fill hole. Ignore the oily mess under there because Fluid Film. Other pic, old fluid and new comparison. Couple notes, no magnetic drain plug?! I wanted to see, or...

I just changed the oil on my pre-loved '15 Fit (no turbo) to get the dealer swill out and the gas smell from the pan was overwhelming. OCI was 200 miles. So, I bought M1 ESP 0W-30 to thicken things up. Though the drained oil was alarmingly diluted, the oil felt surprisingly viscous. I don't know...

Off topic here, but why would a Californian need a separate set of wheels for "winter"? Do they actually salt the roads in mountainous areas?

I have 2 quarts from Amazon of the Honda fluid. They were $15 per quart. Now I just need to find the inclination, both literally and figuratively speaking, to do the job.

I am looking at one of these too after seeing a Youtuber promoting it. The drawback: 6" minimum height will not fit underneath anything but a truck, in your example.

Off topic here, but I'm amazed at how green your lawns are and the abundance of trees there. We just went through a "drought" here in August and our lawns were brown. Umm the Hyundai...LS swap it.

My '15 Fit with the 6 speed manual wails at 3000 RPM while going 60 MPH, so it's still a thing.

Yeah, no dirt, rust or metal shavings in those filters at all I'm sure. Right now, filters made in China doesn't look so bad after all.

I guess it would benefit me to use a low NOACK oil (0W-20) to mitigate deposits on the intake valves. What brand has the lowest, say a mainstream one as available from Walmart? No boutique oils allowed. Beyond that, I'm not going to worry about it.

Made me look. It only affects the turbo 1.5 in the following. Well to be accurate, this is the class action suit. 2018-2021 Honda Accord 2019-2021 Honda CR-V 2019-2021 Honda Civic

The owner's manual says to use Honda's MT fluid, but in a pinch 0W-20 can be used "temporarily" or words to that effect. Are there additives in motor oil that kinda-sorta-mighta be harmful to the transmission or is it just good ole fashioned bs to buy oil from the dealer? The change capacity...

I just bought a 2015 Fit, 57,000 miles, that has the 1.5L DI engine. It runs wonderfully and with the M6 it zips along and has "great" power. I googled around looking for direct injection related problems, but all I found were a couple of references to bad injectors. Did I strike gold by buying...

New batch of filters. Picture says it all.

Or what's left of it. Car was a clapped-out, uninspected and uninspectable Altima with a "boyfriend punched" windshield and kicked off outside mirror (owner was a high school girl). Amazingly, pedal feel and stopping power were normal, no noise, but that was because both calipers were seized in...

Has anyone had luck dickering with Carmax in regards to a trade value? I know their vehicles on the lot are prix fixe, but will they bend on a trade valuation? I have a less-than-desirable 17 year old trade. Their online widget set the valuationI at $4300. I'd be thrilled if I got $5000 for it...
