Do I do my 30k mileage service? It would mainly be for tranny, diff and coolant fluids. I'll do my own damn oil changes.

Is it worth it though? I don't believe I have ever changed those fluid before in any other vehicles.

No need to touch coolant. What 30K mile service checklist has coolant flush?!?

MT and diff are almost as easy as the oil change, so you should just do them yourself. Instead of just a drain plug, there is a fill plug and a drain plug

The only thing that makes it slightly more of a pain is that you can't just pour in fluid from the top using gravity. I use a $5 hand pump I got on Amazon. Tempted to buy a cheap battery operated one but I'm sure it'll just break.

Got it. if it's that simple, Madwi owns a hand pump. I'll just bring the fluids and do it at his garage next month. I've never changed either before, so 3 car guys should be able to figure it out easier. haha, thanks Jar.

Thanks brother. It is life man ... not much I can do about it

Last week the Fit was having issues with TCS. Then it broke down on my way back from Houston yesterday evening. Both times I took it to the Honda dealer and they flat out lied to me about the problem. I had to go inspect the car myself and call out their bullshìt. I called the COO this morning to inform him on my recent experiences. I also emailed him a recording of the voicemail service left me stating my brake pads were at 2mm and a picture of me measuring the actual brake pads at 6 mm. We'll see how he responds.
