I posted a message earlier about when to get the oil changed and on the best oil filters. I got my first change this week, oil life at 30% and milage at 5300, not at the dealer though. I have family connections and can get it done cheaper and easier with them. Of course I thought that the oil life would automatically go back to 100%, but it didnt so I called the dealer abbout this. You would think I would refer to my manual about this and could figure it out. However, for the rest of you that are lazy like me it is a fairly easy procedure. I suppose if you get it done at the dealer they will reset it, but if you go elsewhere like me you can do it on your own, assuming the oil was changed and not left out like a previous post. So the procedure is to go to the oil life indicator, hold the button in for 10 seconds until it blinks, then release. Next hold it in for another 5 seconds, this will reset it to 100%. Pretty neat and easy. I dont know the type of oil they used, in terms of whether it was synthetic or not, I assume not (I do know they used 5w-20). I wonder if the oil life indicator would be smarter to detect a synthetic oil which I understand can give you longer oil life. Any thoughts on this. Is the car that smart to pick up on the type of oil and thus adapt and show up on the oil life indicator as such or does it automatically go off milage run by the car no matter the type of oil. Let me know

The Honda Fit has been nominated for car of the year! The winner will be announced in January 2007 Detroit Autoshow. Its biggest competition is said to be the 2007 Toyota Camery.

Replying to: akin242002 (Dec 16, 2006 10:35 am) That should read "(impossible to find) car of the year." Are they really on dealers' lots? Not where I live...

Replying to: jpmccormac (Dec 17, 2006 11:46 am) I recently got a reply by e-mail from a dealer near me that does a lot of internet business. He told me that with regard to my inquiry concerning Fit manual shift availability, he would only be getting one in the next month, and it was already sold. This is a high-volume dealership. This car may be great and all, but for me, NO car is worth this much trouble in pursuit of purchase.

Replying to: nippononly (Dec 17, 2006 7:01 pm) I think there may be some sort of sales volume requirement for COTY (to exclude exotics for example), but I'll bet the Fit meets this requirement with no problem.

Replying to: backy (Dec 17, 2006 7:06 pm) Now my local dealer has a 9000-mile '05 Civic SI for sale certified, $17,9. I bet you could get it for $16,5 or $17K. It is tempting me as an alternative to the Fit Sport (with a healthy WALLOP of extra sport built right in) that is available right now. Of course, it only has 3 doors, not 5, and it will get 25% worse fuel economy.... |
