I have a 96 3.2 TL with 164k miles and it gets 29 mpg on the highway - no complaints.

The other day I was checking my owner's manual for anything about fuel filters, when to replace, etc. but found nothing. Since the car is running fine should I leave the fuel filter alone, since Honda says nothing about it or should it be replaced?

If anyone suggest I replace it, what are the benefits of doing so?

TIA for any answers.

 

when i ordered mine from Tim@Hondacuraworld, he told me that we have lifetime fuel filters, so they technically never have to be replaced... but for a 25$ part, i didn't mind ordering it and changing it out... i changed it at 100k miles as part of my tuneup...

 

I have always changed my fuel filter in my lexus every 10,000 miles and plan on doing it on the acura

 

I'm still on the original fuel filter at 146,000 miles. Last week i nearly got 31 mpg on a trip to Boise So far so good.

 

if you are using an aftermarket filter, i think you are creating un-necessary maintenence for yourself...

 

You get 26 to a gallon? City? You must be smoking something, just kidding! I get 20 city, 26 hiway.
