Oil grade and refill tips

Choosing the right oil grade and following proper refill procedures helps ensure engine protection and fuel economy.

Steps to perform an oil change

Here is a straightforward guide to changing the oil on the 2015 Honda Fit 1.5L. Gather your supplies first, then follow these steps carefully to avoid spills and ensure a proper fill.

1. Park on a level surface, apply the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Let it cool briefly to avoid hot oil burns, then gather your supplies (new oil, filter, drain pan, funnel, wrench, gloves, and rags).


2. Position the car so you can access the oil drain plug and drain pan underneath the engine. Place the drain pan underneath and remove the drain plug to let the old oil drain completely.


3. Remove and replace the oil filter with a new one. Some oil will spill; allow it to drain into the pan, then install the new filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.


4. Reinstall the drain plug securely and wipe away any oil that may have dripped. Ensure the plug is snug but not over-tightened.


5. Open the hood and remove the oil filler cap. Using a funnel, pour in the recommended amount of new oil – about 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters) if you are replacing the filter.


6. Reinstall the oil filler cap, start the engine, and let it run for a minute or two. Check for leaks around the drain plug and filter.


7. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle. Use the dipstick to verify the oil level; add more oil in small increments if needed until the level reaches the full mark.


8. Dispose of the used oil and filter properly according to local regulations. If your vehicle has an oil life system, reset it as appropriate for your model.

Properly following these steps helps ensure the engine remains protected and can maintain peak performance between services.

For the 2015 Honda Fit 1.5L engine, plan to use approximately 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters) of engine oil when performing a full oil change with a new filter.
