2000 Accord: No Fuel Filter ???

2000 Honda Accord EX, 5Spd: When I asked the service person, when
should I change my Fuel Filter, she said never. I looked in the owner's
manual and I could not find any schedule for Fuel Filter. Just
wondering, how did Honda get rid off Fuel Filter?

Also she said the my Spark Plugs are good until 105,000 miles??

 

I don't think they got rid of the fuel filter, they just don't suggest
replacing it on a regular basis anymore. Same thing happened to wheel
bearings. In the good old days, wheel bearings had to be repacked at
every service, now they aren't on the service schedule at all.

Quite common these days.

 

Honda has moved the fuel filter to the pump in the tank and is not
recommended to replace it.

 

Randolph and Woody:

Thanks a bunch, for enlightening me

That is incredible. One thing less to worry about.

 

They didn't. If you insist, an independent mechanic can install
a new one, but it's going to be more expensive if the filter is
near the tank.

Yep. Iridium or platinum plugs. They really can last 105K miles.
They're awfully expensive too. However - if I could reach them,
I'd check the plugs for condition and gap size every 15-30K miles.
Removing them periodically should reduce the chance that the
threads seize, but a V6 can be really hard to reach the back
plugs. On an inline engine it's a breeze to reach.
