According to HONDA themselves ... the fuel filter under the hood on the 1995 and up cars is LIFETIME and does not require changing ... UNLESS ... you have a specific problem with it.

It takes a contortionist to replace that. You need extensions and a crowsfoot socket to get the line off. It is a general PITA. I have changed a few in my days and it ain't no fun. If you are just changing it to change it ... do yourself a favor and leave well enough alone.

Honda says that the 95 and up is lifetime ... BUT ... there is no difference in the 94 ... so we do not change those either at our dealership.
