Most Honda Fits with the common 1.5-liter engine take about 3.7 quarts of oil when performing an oil and filter change. If you only drain the oil and do not replace the filter, you’ll typically remove about 3.3 quarts. Always check your owner's manual and the under-hood oil capacity sticker for your exact model and year.
Oil capacity basics
The following figures apply to the standard 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that powers most Fits in North America and many other markets. Engine variants or markets may use slightly different capacities.
Typical capacity figures you should rely on when performing an oil change are:
- With filter change: 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters).
- Without filter change: about 3.3 quarts (3.1 liters).
In practice, pour in the full recommended amount, run the engine to distribute the oil, then recheck with the dipstick and top up to the full mark if needed.
Model-year and market variations
While 3.7 quarts with filter is standard for most U.S.-market Fits, some non-U.S. markets or older models may show slightly different capacities. If your VIN or service manual lists a different figure, follow that specification.
Summary
For the Honda Fit's common 1.5-liter engine, plan on about 3.7 quarts of oil with a filter change and roughly 3.3 quarts if you aren’t replacing the filter. Always confirm with your manual and use the dipstick to verify the correct fill level after an oil change. The exact number can vary by engine variant and market, so check the documentation for your car.
