fuel filter change?

I didn't find anything in the owners manual for when to change the fuel filter. I saw in an MDX review that it has a lifetime fuel filter and I'm figureing the TSX has the same filter. Am I right?

I think alot of this is just marketing crap along with the extended maintenance intervals. I means a fuel filter is just a fuel filter right? If i had to change it in my 85 camry I don't see why it wouldn't get dirty in my tsx....

The problem is the location. I don't know where it is on the TSX but on some cars it's in a really difficult place to get at. So replacing it isn't so simple. My gf protege had the oil filter in a place that unless I moved the engine out of the way, I couldn't get a hold of it.

I'll consult my Service Manual and get back to you. What is driving your concern? Most likely it is a 60k mile interval, but I'll give you an exact number.

Acura's had lifetime fuel filters in their cars since 1995. No replacement needed

"lifetime" fuel filters?

Next thing they'll be advertising is "lifetime" oil filters. How can a filter be lifetime, unless the stuff being filtered is pure (i.e. clean)? Is pump gas guaranteed to be 100% "clean" for the lifetime of your car?
