I have a civic dx 99 hatchback d16y7, I called the dealer telling them that in the owners manual there is no mention of the fuel filter. The service guy said that my vehicle had a lifetime fuel filter. does any body know if he is full of ****? also I dont know if it is worth it, but I buy all my spart plugs, air filter, oil filter, distrubtor cap rotor etc... at honda dealer is it a waste of money? or is there a comparable products out there?

thanks, MrBLuR

 

getting stock products its a good idea, is expensive, but reliable, there are different opinions on this topic, but this is my opinion about it.
As for the fuel filter, is not the first time i heard this. Chiovnidca works at honda and he says that too, ask him, but i think is right. USA gets pretty clean gas, so i would say it's ok

 

He's telling it straight up. Honda has no recomended fuel filter replacement intervals on most models since about 1995. They say they only need to be replaced if they are causing a problem. On the newest models the filters are integrated into the fuel pump in the gas tank.
