How to change gear oil in Honda Fit/Jazz | Manual Transmission Fluid Change

[@davidbourgery5090]

I changed mine a couple weeks ago. I used the performance tool brand pump from O'Reilly's, it screwed right on the large top Honda bottles. (The ones in the video). I drove on the highway for while to heat it up and when I opened the fill plug it was leaking out (it looked overfilled, it wasn't it was hot and expanded). I added about 1.4 to 1.5 quarts, to fill it, probably because the gearbox was hot and it expanded. I probably need to top it off cold. My fluid was pretty dirty, the gearbox is much quieter. I bought the car used and have getting around to various items. The video was helpful, thanks for posting it. David

Glad to hear it, David. Thanks for the kind comment!

I love your authenticity! I watch so many of these videos and think, wow, nothing will go wrong but it's cool to see you power through the challenges.

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thanks James. :-) I like everyone to see what could possibly go wrong--- especially when experimenting.

I fully agree with your comment on the crush washer....I also have never changed any washer in my life...and never had any problems thereafter :-O

[@giovannipomarico2035]

*Spent 15$ finding the proper washer for the gearbox filling plug* 😭😭😭

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

That sump plug washer is the reusable type, you can tell by the thickness and the fact the reusable ones don't really come off easily, I reckon this dude has been lucky each time cos a proper crush washer will definitely leak if not replaced, he didn't know a trim bolt with a screw head on it needed screwing out tho so it doesn't suprise me he has gaps, fit a new washer when it needs it a box of different sizes is a few quid it's no drama.....

Very useful sir. Your surroundings are awesome.

[@YoureNowOnTV]

Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us. 😀👍

[@RezboaDog]

Thank you so much for creating this guide! I followed your instructions step-by-step, and now my manual Fit shifts so smoothly. You've saved me so much time and frustration. Keep up the great work!

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thanks for the kind comment!

[@dws2313]

Well, Dave, your "shadetree" mechanics look a lot like mine. But, you got the job done and the Lord gave and forgave, and blessed and kept you.

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Amen!

[@capnbly]

That drain oil looked pretty clean. If you don't know how old it is, better to change it.

[@jomangeee]

previously i could not locate the nuts , i found this the most accurate, topographically

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Anyone in the UK don't buy one of those pumps, unfortunately we use a different thread system in the UK, best bet here is either a extended bendy long neck filler funnel or a squeeze bottle with some sort of line attached!.....👍👌👍

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thanks for the input!

[@TheJackMarcin]

would you say there was any improvement in the shifting/ trans response after the oil change?

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Good question, Jack. I didn't notice any difference. Seems to shift the same to me.

[@davidbourgery5090]

The fastener you pryed off is screwed on with a phillips screw. Just unscrew it and will come right off with no effort (and much less time). I think the dorman part number is 963-111d, but they are often in the back, they don't sell enough to be in the display. They help with splashes and airflow. Nearly everyone owns a fit for the gas mileage so it's good to have them. David

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thanks for the tip David!

[@davidbourgery5090]

I was looking at some of the other fasteners on the splash guard. They look like the push plunger type, usually you pry out the circle rivet in the middle with a fastener pry bar. You put them back in place and push the rivet back in to seat them back in place.

[@davidbourgery5090]

If they have a have Phillips or flat try a screwdriver first.

Wich model of honda ? Y have 1.2 ivtec 2008? Is the same ???

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

This is the 2010 1.5 vtec.

[@cbrhurrican]

Please anyone can help what type oil nneds for an ishift model 2010 Honda Jazz

[@AleksandarStefanovic]

I think that MTF-3 (Manual Transmission Oil) should be used. In case MTF-3 specifically is not available, you can use any oil that is specific for manual transmissions. If that is not available, the owner's manual says that you can use 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil.

Why is your hat on backwards…a aerodynamic thing ?

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

To keep my bald head from glaring at the camera, and yet still allow me to see upward.

[@Elad3000]

Is your fit a 5 or 6 speed gearbox? Cheers

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

5 ... 👍😊

[@richardmorrison2686]

The wood should remain flat on the surface , use 2 to 3 to make a ramp of wood up to the metal ramp , there should be no daylight under the wood

[@Elprofeta26]

Precisamente ayer cambié el eceite de mi transmisión manual de honda fit 2007 y el eceite estaba color cocacola 😅

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

😮

[@hondaaccord1971]

Awesome thanks great video gonna do mine like this very soon

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thanks for watching, Kevin!

[@Plaguer_agent]

Very informative video thank you

[@tennesseehomesteader6175]

Thank you for that I appreciate it. I love my Honda fit I'm moving to Mexico and have to sell it it has 163,000 mi on it..

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

All the best on your new adventure!

[@tonythai5991]

This is very dangerous since the ramps could slide.

[@williamshelton9688]

Should the vehicle not be level ?

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

As level as possible.

[@danialrafiqi9346]

hey dave. is your fit shudders when on first gear especially when accelerating?

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Yes it does a little, Danial.

[@jamesgann560]

That's trans mount/engine mount. Mine does that. It's getting worse now that I'm at 255k miles.

[@danialrafiqi9346]

@Jay Yoyo No

[@angelfilomeno833]

How much liter do you put inside?

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Depends on year, but about 3.2 pints.

[@sonnyday6210]

You would never use motor oil in a gesrbox, Engine oils are subject to high running temperatures while Gear oils are subject to high-pressure movements, thats what makes gear oil smell bad

[@cgcgcg69]

thank you !!

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@justinpoole7750]

Should of jacked it up and then put the ramps underneath of the wheels my man.

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gerenshaya9379]

Next time just put a mirror in front of the car to get it up the ramp

[@noobydiablo]

this video definitely didn't need to be 20 minutes long
