These figures cover common oil-change scenarios you’re likely to encounter, including whether you replace the filter and the recommended oil type.
- With an oil filter replacement: 3.4 quarts (approximately 3.2 liters).
- Without replacing the oil filter: 3.0 quarts (approximately 2.8 liters).
- Recommended oil viscosity: 0W-20, meeting API SN or ILSAC GF-5 standards.
Before you read the list, note that these values assume a standard oil change with the filter change included.
These figures can vary slightly depending on the exact engine build or oil filter size. Always finish by checking the oil level with the dipstick after the engine has cooled slightly and add oil in small increments until you reach the full line.
Practical maintenance tips
For proper maintenance, follow Honda’s guidance in the owner's manual. The 2016 Fit generally uses 0W-20 synthetic oil, and the typical change interval under normal driving conditions is indicated by Honda’s Maintenance Minder system. In harsher conditions or with heavy driving, the system may prompt more frequent changes.
When performing an oil change yourself, ensure you use the correct filter and gasket, dispose of used oil responsibly, and reset the maintenance minder after completing the service.
Summary
For a 2016 Honda Fit, plan for about 3.4 quarts of engine oil if you replace the filter, or about 3.0 quarts if you don’t. Use 0W-20 oil and follow the Maintenance Minder guidance to determine exact change intervals. Always consult the owner’s manual for your specific vehicle configuration and VIN.
