(Don't kill the messenger) Acura Dealership SA said the fuel filter will last the life of the car.

I did a google, and I saw this:

This vehicle does not have an in-line fuel filter between the fuel tank and the engine. Use this filter set when replacing the fuel strainer located inside the fuel tank - which is the only fuel filter on this vehicle
I guess they assume we will all follow the owner's manual and use premium octane. Those who use lower octane might be asking for it now...

FWIW octane rating has no relationship to fuel "cleanliness." There is an integrated filter built into the fuel pump assembly in the tank. There's no schedule for replacing it. The S/M says to inspect/replace if the fuel pressure is below spec.

SCT has it. The "filter" is in the gas tank. Although it is replaceable with enough effort it is not part of the normal maintenance schedule.
