What is the normal cylinder pressure for the Fit?

[VonAngelo]

The normal cylinder pressure for the Fit ranges between 10 and 12 bars. Insufficient cylinder pressure can lead to reduced vehicle power and performance, as well as engine vibration. Excessive cylinder pressure may result in engine weakness, unstable idle, excessive emissions, and increased oil consumption. The Fit is a hatchback model introduced by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4096mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2530mm. The Honda Fit is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder engine featuring natural aspiration.

I remember last time I checked the cylinder compression pressure of my Fit, the reading was considered normal between 1200 and 1500 kPa. I drive a third-generation Fit, and the measurement came out around 1350 kPa, which was great, indicating a healthy engine. If the pressure is too low, say below 1000 kPa, it might be due to worn piston rings or valve leakage, and you'd feel a lack of power or have difficulty starting. I test it myself every two years with a pressure gauge—it's quite simple, just remove the spark plugs to attach the tool. Regular maintenance, like timely oil changes, can prevent compression pressure drop, especially in summer when the engine is under heavier load.
