      If the Honda is your grandma's car here is a little tip (from a long time Honda owner) for you.
      When you install a new air filter, the retaining clip is curved spring steel and it's quite easy to make it snap into place by pushing the clip in (with your thumb) where it curves.
      This is much harder to explain than it is to do ;-)

    I"ve owned two honda fits an 07 that was hauled from an insurance claim that had 244K miles and was still running and driving, couldn't afford body, and suspension work.
    My current 08 has 196K. Love these cars. My first one would try and stall while cold the spark plugs, air filter where changed and it did okay till the serp belt snapped and shreaded then the tensioner pully fell off XD Managed to make it work with an inch smaller belt. These cars are awesome, they will get up and go pretty quick with just stock, but they are easy to work, cheap parts, and great gas saver for someone like me who loves to drive, plus fold the back seats down and you can haul just about anything I"ve had everything fridges, deep freezers, wood, hay, animals, people, cargo in my car. you can FIT A LOT IN FIT

The K20C2 has been problem free and is a very refined, reliable engine for the 15,000 miles it has been so far driven. Even when the instrument panel said oil change was overdue, the darn engine was still running even better than when it left the showroom lol. Kinda like my 2001 cavalier.

    Always a good video. Just traded in my 2007 Honda Fit with 243,000 miles, original back brakes still good, front brakes replaced twice with new rotors, and one coil, all four plugs. It ran like clockwork. So I bought a 2020 Honda Fit. In between we bought a 2018 Honda Fit. So far no trouble from any of them. 2020 is the last year, gas prices down, economy cars not popular. But being empty nestors, we both just want a dependable, small easy to park easy maintanance cars. And to be honest, they drive great long distances. I never had any problems with this car.

      If it's still not running great when cold you can also check your valve clearance. I had a similar problem and an adjustment fixed it up. It's apparently pretty common on the Fits. They're fantastic cars though!

    I have a 2008 Honda Fit Sport with 270,000 miles. Getting ready to do this same task when the weather cooperates. It's not running poorly, just regular maintenance. I do wish I could have seen where the spark plugs are located. It doesn't look like they are that easy to get to. Going to need one of those cable wrench extender things. Nice to see the same recommendation that the carkillers forum gave for injector cleaner.

    Scotty, thank you for alot of good information on various types of vehicle. I drive a pre-owned 2017 honda fit and bought it 45,000 miles. I drive the at 300 miles a day, because i work two hours away from home. It's a damn good employment, however the mileage is high at 174,000. I changed the oil between 4,000 to 5,000 miles or every month. It's been a good vehicle, I changed plugs, but need to change the transmission oil next week. At any rate, I have engine light on. I used an Innova 5110 OBO2 carscan reader. It shows a P0420. WHat's your recommendation, I thinking about changing the O2 sensor as recommended. Any recommendation is welcome. You're awsome and thank you for your RUclips channel.

    6:24 Yes, Definitely. White smoke coming out and the coolant is decreasing mean the engine head gasket has blown, so it's burning the coolant!

    I've heard about the head gasket problems, but my Subaru is a very good car and my engine runs just fine at 287,000 miles! it's a 98 Legacy. Had some cooling system problems for a while but at the end of it I had to replace the radiator and I'm good to go. Goes to show it was taken care of like any car should be. I would buy the same one again.
