Should I check my Honda Fit motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Honda Fit engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Honda oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

How Often to Get 2017 Honda Fit Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2017 Honda Fit? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Honda recommends changing your 2017 Fit’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Fit may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Honda Fit. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
