The 2007 Honda Fit typically requires about 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters) of engine oil when performing a full oil change with the filter. If you’re not changing the filter, expect around 3.0 quarts (about 2.9 liters).
For owners and DIY mechanics, this figure comes from Honda’s standard 1.5-liter engine specification used in the 2007 Fit. Always confirm the exact viscosity and service guidelines in the owner’s manual, and use the dipstick to verify the oil level after refilling to the correct mark.
Official oil capacity figures
Official capacity figures for the 1.5-liter engine used in the 2007 Honda Fit, assuming a full oil change with the filter replaced.
- Oil capacity with filter: 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters)
- Oil capacity without filter: 3.0 quarts (2.9 liters)
When performing an oil change, use the filter-inclusive capacity as your target fill. If you cannot replace the filter, you may need less oil to reach the proper level. Always verify the level with the dipstick after filling and start the engine to check for leaks.
Practical steps for an oil change
Follow these steps to perform an oil change safely and accurately on a 2007 Fit.
- Park on level ground, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool for a few minutes to reduce burn risk.
- Place a drain pan underneath the engine, locate the drain plug, and remove it to let the oil drain completely.
- Remove and replace the oil filter with a new one, lightly coating the gasket with fresh oil.
- Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
- Pour in the recommended amount of oil using a funnel, starting with the lower end of the capacity range.
- Replace the filler cap, start the engine, and run for about a minute. Turn off, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level with the dipstick; add more oil if needed to reach the full mark.
- Inspect for leaks around the drain plug and filter, and reset the maintenance light if applicable.
Adhering to these steps helps ensure the engine remains properly lubricated and within the recommended service intervals.
Summary
For a 2007 Honda Fit, plan to use about 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters) of engine oil when changing the oil and filter. If you aren’t replacing the filter, you may need around 3.0 quarts (2.9 liters). Always refer to the owner’s manual for the exact viscosity specification and verify the final oil level with the dipstick after adding oil.
