In 2016, every Honda Fit comes with a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, regardless of the trim level. This means that no matter which version you choose, you'll always be using the same amount and type of oil, which is reassuring. You'll need 3.3 quarts of oil without an oil filter and 3.5 quarts with one. The recommended oil is SAE 0W-20 full synthetic, but you can also use SAE 5W-20 if necessary. However, it's not advisable for long-term use as using oil with higher viscosity can cause increased friction that may damage your engine prematurely. To ensure your Fit lasts for many years, it's worth spending a little extra on the SAE 0W-20 oil. You'll appreciate this investment in the future.
This information is incorrect, Joe P. The manual suggests using conventional oil and points out that synthetic oil can be an option, but it is not mandatory.
The manual for the 2016 Honda Fit suggests using 0W-20 synthetic oil as the best choice.
Incorrect. It suggests using regular oil and specifically notes that synthetic oil is also acceptable.
Because of the direct injection problems associated with the 1.5L engine (carbon buildup), it is now advised to use only full synthetic oil and top-tier gasoline.
