make sure they use the Aisin kit or OEM parts. Nothing else goes.

ATE DOT 4 brake fluid is more than enough except for the most severe track duty (I've autocrossed my car heavily without any issue using it) and is much cheaper than Motul.
For Coolant OEM Honda the blue stuff is perfect it's almost like it's made for the car.
ATE super blue fluid is good for the brakes and clutch although it's not blue in color anymore.
I run synth Mobil 1 or Castrol Edge 5W20, and a Mobil 1 filter, m1-110.
Changed yearly or if I hit the 16000-18000 km mark before that. I do change the filter every time instead of Honda's every other change interval recommendation.
Check oil level now and then.
i used the original oil (0w20) but here in mexico is a little expensive. change the oil to mobil 10w30 full synthetic and works great on my fit 2010.
Mobil 1 filters and Fram Ultra filters are good too. Just don't use the the cheap Fram extra guard filter. It's made of paper. The Ultra is higher quality
Got a set on my Honda Clarity not long ago, this is my first set of CrossClimate 2 tires on an electric vehicle. I got these because I was so happy with them on my Camry.
They are fantastic in the rain. I've never had a tire so resistant to hydroplaning.
But I want to warn everyone interested that these tires are very noisy in the low frequency range of about 60-160 Hz.
my local garage replaced with an aftermarket. Two weeks ago the squeak of bad bearings arrived and *it* had to be replaced. A different mechanic (Honda specialist) said OEM parts were very hard to find, even here in Los Angeles, so they installed a better aftermarket alternator. That was a squeaker. Then they installed another: squeaker. Now I'm waiting for the delivery of a Denso alternator from Texas that's arriving on Friday. $100 more but I've got my fingers crossed.
I once had the fuel pump fail in my CBR250RR... i bought an ebay pump, it lasted a month and broke. No biggy whatever... bought another one. It lasted 2 days... ordered a honda genuine for 10x the price and took a month to arrive... it lasted until the bike met its end on a diesel spin on a canyon road.
