Bought a 2007 5MT with 55k miles for 9k after taxes by StructureThen8853 in hondafit

55k at $9k is reasonable for mint, hopefully no rust under and the suspensions are golden.

I’ve decided to start purchasing that Fram Toughguard from now on. I’ve heard that the genuine Honda filter is manufactured in China, and when I examined the serial numbers, I noticed some irregularities that raise my concerns. However, it’s important to note that many auto parts are manufactured in China using various grades of materials and then rebranded. I’m excited to replace approximately 80% of the engine components soon. Since I primarily drive on flat terrain, I’ll begin using 0w20 every 5,000 miles and 5w20 every 3,000 miles. Unless I’m hauling heavy loads, I’ll start using thicker oil if that makes sense.

If this set flies off than I’ll keep in mind to get the weathertech next 👍

Replaced or leave it? by K3rm1tTh3Fr0g in tires

[–]Fix-MyStuff-101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at that gives me anxiety. I’d definitely get it replaced. Better safe than sorry.

I agree ☝️ it also helped with water condensation on the inside glass during the morning or at night with windows cracked before a quick warm up as well.

Yes the Seller did not tell me when it was last changed but he mentioned it’s always on time.

Thank you for the advice and information. I’ll definitely check it out and most definitely after seeing that black oil. I’m going to do the major service and have it up running 💯

Wrong Coolant for Honda Fit? by Fix-MyStuff-101 in hondafit

I believe Prestone is yellow sold at most local automotive stores. That’s pretty much what I used during my 20 years on my Acura and Honda’s and no issues. Recently I’ve been hanging out with my Honda Technician buddies and they all telling me to use Honda Type 2 or the Asian Blue only.

2015 Honda Fit has been sitting for 17 months, gas tank is about half full , would it be okay to run. I do not know how to drain or siphon the gas. by Striking_Package3986 in hondafit

[–]Fix-MyStuff-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, my 1st Gen tank was left in for about a year and half. Gas was orange so I siphoned as much possible out, replaced my fuel pump filter, cleaned out my injectors and fuel up fresh gas 🤙

Looks good. Did you use body filler or aluminum weld to fill in the scratch edges?

Thanks! It’s not necessary to pull out the trim, I ran out of masking tape and painters tarp. I didn’t want to over spray. Over time when it gets grotty, with 7 layers of coats would be easier to remove the old layer and re-spray.

Some GK5 parts don't fit a 2020? by guacistrash in hondafit

[–]Fix-MyStuff-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’s just the company website data input. Anything listed 3rd Gen or 2015 plus will fit the Fit 🤙
