Can the Fit use 5W30 engine oil?
1 Answers
The Fit can use 5W30 engine oil. This specification of oil is suitable for lower temperatures and has a lower viscosity, while also providing better protection for the engine. During maintenance, you can either replace it with the original 0W20 oil or use 5W30 oil. The oil viscosity should not be too high, as it may affect the engine's performance. The Fit is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and using semi-synthetic or higher-grade oil is beneficial for such engines. The front suspension of the Fit uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The top-trim Fit features Honda's Magic Seats in the rear, which can be fully folded to maximize cargo space.
