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 ;-)

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.

Still driving around in my 07 fit. Had serious idling problem in the past but after some digging and helpful guides end up performing a valve adjustment and replaced the spark plugs/coil packs. The batteries on these cars are weak, suggest tossing the battery cradle and going with a bigger battery, NE winters require it.

Merry Christmas from Huntsville al Scotty. ☃️⛄
I love the Yugo story Scotty! I had one that I commuted with for 2 hours a day and had it for a decade before the timing belt broke and valves went into the cylinders :( But in WI winters it track like a tank :)
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.
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.

On the air box clips you just push in on the spring parts thats bowed outward. It will cause the clip to expand upward and latch around the lid.
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!
Merry Christmas Scotty🎁🎄🇨🇦👍
I've got one of those. If a Honda Fit stumbles and dies when it's cold, it needs a valve adjustment.
Once i get going I work pretty smooth. Scotty... you slick :).
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

My 2020 Civic has larger gaps, more uneven panels, and rattles than my dads 2010 Civic. Mechanically, though? 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. Not exactly the best fit and finish, but that 2.2L OHV was great and managed to reach 240,000 miles before I sold it.

My daughters 2013 Fit had the check engine(spend money) light and traction control come on at same time at 100,000 miles. Pulled a P0302 code- misfire in #2 cylinder. New Spark plugs require you to remove wipers, windshied trim, wiper motor, and metal pan. Once there, I found three of the four spark plugs loose enough to remove without a wrench. Plugs and coils carboned right up. Apparently this is a known problem. Lucky to catch it when we did🙄
