DIY: 2015 – 2019 Honda Fit Engine Air Filter Change. TIP: Watch out for the plastic clips!

Here is a quick how to video on changing out your 2013 – 2019 Honda Fit Engine Air Filter! BTW, my Youtube vlogs and DIYs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

Changing out the Honda Fit Engine air filter takes less than 10 minutes and is very simple. Just buy a Honda Fit Engine Air Filter ( https://amzn.to/36Umj1N ) (HONDA OEM Part Number is 17220-5R0-008 ) , open the hood, pop the 4 clips, shift the air box forward, notice the air filter alignment notch on the side, replace with the new air filter and you are done!

TIP: Watch out for the plastic air box clips! They snap in place on to the metal clip assembly and may easily pop out off. So work carefully, otherwise you will be searching the engine bay for a black plastic clip.

I put so many miles on my Honda’s that I use Honda OEM filters. I change out my engine air about 20,000 – 25,000 miles or its really dirty on my monthly check.

Honda Clarity Vlog – Tip#007: Check Engine Lights @ 11,000 miles – 12 Volt Reset!

Welcome Honda Clarity Tip and Vlog (RTwC) episode 007! I am at 11,053 miles and 7 months of ownership with my Honda Clarity PHEV. This morning I got Check Engine Light (CEL) and other systems sending alerts on my dash board. Brake system problem, Hill assist problem, Engine error, TMPS sensor problem and other issues popping up.

I have full charge on my PHEV battery and a full tank of gas. The temperature was 74 degrees so it wasnt cold. I drove it around the block and the CEL light did not clear. So having to go to work, I opened the hood and disconnected the 12 volt battery for 5 minutes. With most cars this will reset or have the car’s computer clear some codes to recheck what was wrong. While under the hood, i checked the oil, brake, coolant, and windshield liquid levels. Everything was a good levels except the wind shield fluid (https://amzn.to/2K1tqvB ) which i added more. I closed the hood and drove the Honda Clarity around the block and the CEL lights cleared and never came back. UPDATE* It has not reappeared even after 200 miles of driving. If in doubt bring it to a Honda Dealer to check!

The Honda Clarity is a pretty great car with good designed an comfortable ride. I believe Honda programming my have its initial bugs as this was the first model year.
Among other things I will be driving her as a commuter care and a roadtrip car, as I got all weather mats for her ( https://amzn.to/2VIaxBh ) which were great with all the road trips!

DIY | REVIEW: How to Install Digital TPMS Gauge and Sensors to my Honda! Accord and Clarity!

Quick DIY and Review video on installing a Digital Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my Honda Clarity and Accord. I bought one online ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 ) for about $30 and it took longer to make this video than to install these Tire Pressure Monitoring System. This would be good for tow trailers or campers tires to quickly check tire pressure. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

My new 2018 Honda Clarity and 2007 Honda Accord does not have a TPMS system that tells tire pressure and temperature of the tires. My 2007 Accord simply didnt have TPMS . My 2018 Honda Clarity on checks tire rotation to determine if the diameter is smaller to indicate over or under inflation of the tires. I loved my Chevy Volt which has individual meters for each tire. Individual guage allowed me to monitor status and if I had a air leak. Good for finding a tire leak before a flat tire.

The kit is solar powered with a battery and a USB input for 5 volt power. This makes it convenient to be wire free when i put it on my dash. In order to keep the unit from flying off my dash board, I added Scotch double sided tape ( https://amzn.to/2pCOvFr ) on the bottom of the TPMS unit and added anti-slip shelving mat foam ( https://amzn.to/2nULpfs ) . You could have just used a cell phone anti-slip mat ( https://amzn.to/2n7sZre ) .

I charged the kit in a USB charger for 2 hours before installing kit. The kit was already calibrated for all four tires of the car: Front Right, Front Left, Rear Right, Rear Left. You just need add the locking nut onto the tire nipple, then add the sensor to the corresponding tire location. Use the provided mini spanner / wrench to tighten the nuts against the TPMS sensor. You are able to set the high and low pressure alarm and units settings such as PSI vs BAR or F vs C. In a few minutes the main controller receives tire data from the individual tires.

I tested the tire pressure against my digital tire pressure gauge (https://amzn.to/2naQQGH ) and fount it accurate.
