Hey guys,

How do you guys break in your new fit?
I am getting my 10' fit on the weekend
any advice?
Thanks!

 

Just follow the owner's manual... it's pretty simple.

For the first 600 miles, take it easy. That's it.

It used to be that you had to change the oil and a few other things at about 600-1000 miles, but the oil doesn't need to be changed until the "Maintenance Minder" gets to about 15% or so (a wrench will light up and something in the mid-display should show up (A or B and/or a number from 1 to 5).

For myself, it looks more and more like I'll have to change my oil at about 5000-6000 miles. Some have gone past 10k mile for their first oil change.

This is what it actually says in the book.

 

I beat the piss out of it since day one. Now at 96k miles it still runs like a champ. It's an 09 mt base.

 

Wow its 09 and now has 96K???

 

yes used it for work

 

I followed the owner's manual and it has worked out well so far.

 

i took it easy the first 1k miles, i did gun here n there while merging on to freeways but thats it

 

i just don't rev past 3500k for the first 1000-1200 miles. but after that.........hehehe lol

 

Just change up the engine speed and don't get stuck at, say, 3000 RPM for a long time.
