Honda Jazz GE 2008-2014 Major Service

Hi Everyone, in this one I'm going to be doing the 120,000km service on a 2009 Honda Jazz with the 1.3 litre L13 engine with an automatic transmission (not the CVT).
I'll be covering the following items:
- Engine oil change
- In cabin air filter change
- Spark plug change
- Oil filter change
- Transmission fluid change
- Air filter change
Items not covered but that are a part of the major service:
- Brake Fluid change
- Valve clearance check/adjustment
If you've recently bought a jazz or you just haven't serviced yours in a while I would recommend changing and checking all the items covered here especially the transmission fluid if you are noticing any jerkiness when accelerating or stopping (could be a lurching that feels like your brakes aren't working right when stopping) or crunching when selecting a different gear (more noticeable when parked on hill and moving from P to a different gear).
Hope you enjoy the video.
Catch you in the next one!

Great info! Personal experience with Honda G-Box: NEVER refill with anything but OEM Honda oil, same for their Power-steering. I know, ALL manufacturers say so but Honda REALLY NEEDS OEM FOR G-BOX, CVT, 4WD differentials and Coolanrt Engine oil, B-Fluid, B-Pads, OIl & Air filters: No problem with A/M. But don't risk the G-BOX to the diff!

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Great advice and I agree for all the points you listed. Definitely have heard that using the CVT fluid can cause early wear for the gears.

[@SCS10000]

A very good video, you made here. You forgot to mention the check of the auxiliary belt and auto-tensioner 😉 A hint: Spark plugs are only removed on a cold engine and here tightend with 18 Nm under install, and a little anti-seize on the thread before installing. The Automatic Transmission Oil Change should be done like this: 1. drain oil, refill to right level and drive for 30 min./25 km. 2. drain oil again, refill to right level and drive . . . 3. . . . 4. . . . In all do that 4 times and the last time refill is with new gasket on the drain and fill screws and don't forget to change the AT oil filter placed under the battery. IF the drain plug is very dirty and the oil the same, it may be a good idea to have a look at the oil strainer inside the gearbox too. Honda has discontinued their ATF-Z1 and only recommend the ATF-DW1 now. That is Honda recommendation if you don't have access to an AT Flush device (I don't like those flush devices for neither engine nor transmission, so I always do the above mentioned on my cars .. XC90 D5 AWD and Jazz 1.5 SV). Check brakepad, rotors(brake disks), clean brakes and adjust parking brake if necessary. Tire rotation .. rear to the front and front to rear, don't ! rotate left /right And visual inspection of: * Drive shafts, boots and boot clamps * brake lines (incl. ABS cables) * Fuel lines and fittings * Tierod ends, boots on steering rack * swaybar links * suspension struds, shock absorbers * all rubber mounts (incl. exhaust) and rubber bushings * etc. A good video .. well done The VISTA Mechanic

[@SCS10000]

Ohh and reset service indicator if any .. 😉 ..c")

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Thanks for the feedback and all the info! Knowledge is power

[@funkingitup1805]

"A hint: Spark plugs are only removed on a cold engine and here tightend with 18 Nm under install, and a little anti-seize on the thread before installing." This is not good advice for this vehicle. The Honda Jazz (Fit) of this generation is known for ejecting spark plugs causing catastrophic head damage. Honda has increased the torque to 20 ft-lbs. (~27-28Nm) and recommends no anti-seize for spark plugs.

[@Bill-fh5nu]

@@funkingitup1805 I was going to say the same thing. Definitely NO anti-seize on the spark plugs. Also on a side note, don't by spark plugs from Amazon because they tend to be counterfeit. I learned this the hard way and have since purchased them from local auto parts store chains.

[@jakescakes]

Excellent info

[@funkingitup1805]

You should also inspect/adjust your valve clearances and replace the valve cover gasket when removing the cowl for spark plugs. Good vid.

[@Jason-gj1pu]

Only if the tappets are noisy.

[@bobbywang336]

Hi great tutorial. I've got a 2012 Jazz and I've always come back to this video for reference. Can you please make the brake fluid video on the Jazz?

[@zaavikarzaan3331]

What is the oil SAE used on this model as I have the same car and it's run for 100000kms + and which one should be suitable?

[@danielhinz7110]

Very good video, well done, but It is not necessary to dismantle anything to change the spak plugs. You can access them from the left side. Not easy, but it is possible. I changed them in about 40 minutes.

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Thanks! That's a good tip might have to try it that way for the next video!

[@nico-fq4xn]

Does changing the transmission fluid this way on a manual work as well?

[@Bill-fh5nu]

9:07 Don't you replace the oil crush washer with a new one when reattaching the oil drain plug?

[@darkutena]

great video, i have a honda fit 2010, want to change the transmission oil, but there's no have dipstick to check. it's 5 shift transmission, no automatic.

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Thanks! The manual transmission is a bit different. There is no dipstick. There’s a filler hole and drain plug. The idea is to fill up with manual trans fluid until it starts to leak out of the filler hole (while the car is level).

[@felipebrenner6870]

How’s the car going with that transmission fluid? I’m thinking to use atf fs from penrite.

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

Wow, changing the spark plugs is a pretty big job. It's a 10 to 15 minute job to do the same thing on a Yaris. That Jazz takes a lot more effort, skill and time. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@marvin2678]

at what point does he do that ?

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

@@marvin2678 At whatever point scheduled maintenance requires the spark plugs changed, or when required to rectify a cylinder misfire. The point being, with some designs it is a straight forward and simple task, with others, for example that require manifold removal and other component disassembly to access the spark plugs, it's a more complex task. The Toyota Yaris as referred, is a simple job to replace spark plugs and or ignition coil packs.

[@RTJ3DCosplay]

dont suppose you know where the crank shaft sensor is on a honda jazz (2011) do you?

[@blazeboyblazeboy4470]

All simple . And even the valve adjustment is very.simple.task

[@bluur3531]

Hi sir, i have old honda jazz. Around 2003 model. Where do u buy the car parts for replacements. Thanks. Please help

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Hey saw your comment on another video but I'll post an answer here too: Depends where you are but where I am I'd call Repco, Supercheap Auto or Autobarn. Otherwise good old eBay and online shops can be good too.

[@ramilrosuello1053]

How come’s you used the ATF? I’m so confused., my Honda Fit 1.3 from Japan The last timei change the fluid.. The Guy from Auto parts, suggest to use the Honda CVT fluid..

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

In certain countries and certain models the Automatic did come with a CVT. Japan is definitely one of those countries that got a CVT offered so that could be correct. The only CVT I've seen in an Australian Model (AUSDM) not import was the Honda Jazz Hybrid. It had different rims and a clear grille. I could be wrong though.

[@ELI-vm9yf]

Like the video!!!!!!!!!! More!!!!!!

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Soon! Once I get my other car out of the garage I'll be able to catch up on things

[@barrythornton9947]

Good vid before i say anything else. Wow ! is this car the winner of `most PITA to change the plugs` ?

[@Jason-gj1pu]

No way ,it goes to the hyundai SUV that needed engine removal to get to the 6th plug, 😅

[@blankmeme224]

What's the NGK spark plug number for the 1.3l Honda Fit? Is it the same as the more common 1.5l?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

They share the same plug or at least I used the same plug in both the Silver and Black cars and one is a 1.3 and the other is a 1.5.

[@yashicathehusky]

All of these work you've done here.. does it need to perform a relearning / idle relearning to the ecu?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

I did nothing to the ECU but did disconnect the battery. No issues over a year +

[@yashicathehusky]

@@YuyuJitekiGarage I just bought my 2nd hand Jazz GE 1.3 AT this december, the seller said I need to perform a relearning using a scanner because they fixed a solenoid and didn't do a relearning. Anyways i brought it to a mechanic and made a tune up, change atf, change oil, and scan + relearn and reset. all good.

[@user-pl4op7zp5m]

good job. my ge8 has an engine cold start noise, do u have the same problem.

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Not that I've noticed, sounds a bit louder when it is cold but nothing that I would call unusual.

[@TheAkinaspeedstar]

Very helful video, BTW what is The part number of sparkplug?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Thank you! I used this part number IZFR6K13

[@blankmeme224]

@@YuyuJitekiGarage ignore my last comment lol. Thanks for the part number. I googled that the 1.3 and 1.5 don't use the same plugs but I can find this plug in my country a lot easier.

[@BeckerIon38]

How many liters to the gear box fluid?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

For that car it was roughly 2.5 litres however when I did Jazzy Jazzu it needed almost 3 litres. Make sure to follow the procedure listed in the owner’s manual to check the transmission dipstick to know for sure. For me I had to run the car around the block then check the dipstick after 90 seconds of the car being off. The dipstick also has the words “HOT” to make sure you dont try to measure it cold if yours is the same.

[@Mikeekim88]

new sub. keep it up. Can you do a brake fluid service too? Cheers

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Thanks for the sub! I'll add it to the to do list

[@daveredknapmedium]

Hi There. I have a 2014 Honda Fit with a CVT. The car is nine years old, but only had 12000 miles on the clock. The transmission oil has never been changed. Should I change it? Many thanks!

[@metzmatu8409]

That CVT fluid should be change every 40,000 KM or 2 years.

[@husamsalhi6071]

I got an 09 Jazz today and I love it but I'm afraid of doing the valve adjusting😣

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

That's next on my list to tackle! Can be daunting opening up the engine. Might be worth leaving it alone.

[@husamsalhi6071]

​@@YuyuJitekiGarage Hey bro returned to your amazing vid today to tell you that I did the valves, coils, plugs and tie rod ends (after 600 us$ of total parts and labor🙄) the car seems to be quieter and more fuel efficient... Now planing to do the ATF but I have a question for you, how much did you put above that 12:13 ? because mine is above H letter when measured hot (70 seconds)

[@icedt2592]

Can you show us how to change the fuel filter for this car ?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

On the to do list!

[@jostarify]

How do you check whether the transmission is CVT or just an auto?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

I believe the easiest way to spot is by looking at what gear lever. Traditional autos have D, D3, 2 and 1. Where as the CVt should have D, S and L

[@metzmatu8409]

Conventional auto trans do have dip stick & normally CVT trans doesn't have

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

I got this one at 230000 miles sounds the same only when you hard accelerate i notice like a chain noise

[@georgerousakis8501]

Error 1. why don't you use a torque wrench?? The two quarters you give empirically, is a lot. Mistake 2. We fill the oil filter with oil, even if the position does not offer... good luck George Engineer from Corinth Greece

[@hybridirongolfer8584]

do you know where is the motor temperature sensor location?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Haven't looked into it yet! Did you find it?

[@metzmatu8409]

There are two Engine Coolant Temperature sensors; ECT 1 and ECT 2. ECT 1 is located on the cylinder head below the throttle body and ECT 2 is located at the bottom of the radiator

[@abby5839]

how to know the transmission if it is CVT non CVT

I believe the easiest way to spot is by looking at what gear lever. Traditional autos have D, D3, 2 and 1. Where as the CVT should have D, S and L

[@curciobusiness]

is this one the CVT?

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Haha had to be clear about it!

[@marvin2678]

I kiss you eye my friend

[@Jason-gj1pu]

Don't use ryco filters. They are overpriced junk made in China by G.U.D. as many rebrands are. Honda genuine air, then fleetguard or mann for the rest. O.E.M can filters are often made by fram,G.U.D or champion (Indonesia). Mann and fleetguard filter for jazz is half the price of ryco and is far superior in quality.

[@princedube8332]

Very dangerous thing to do

[@YuyuJitekiGarage]

Definitely don't want to see my engine removal video if you think this one was dangerous haha

[@esperanzavelez2772]
