What's the manual say how often u need to replace u'r fuel filter? U know how those dickheads at like Jiffy Lube always try to get u to replace u'r fuel filter and crap every 6k miles? I hate bringing my cars there b/c they're so annoying.

Oh BTW i don't take the R to places like that, just the daily drivers.

The manual tells you (not "u" ) to change it every 60K miles or 4 years, whichever comes first.

If you don't have an owner's manual, you should get one - and if you ever work on your own car, you should get a service manual, too. The maintenance schedule appears in both of them. You can buy them here.

When i checked the owners manual i did not see any reference to the fuel filter, although I could have missed it.

Mine looked like chit when i pulled it out @ 61K - http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=756547 - I'd recommend a 30K interval.

I have the mechanic's manual, the 1998 origional and the 2000 supplement. I've thumbed through it and havent' really come across anything. Is this what u'r refering to?

<-------- every 30k here. it's cheap to replace so might as well.

I would be happy to translate if you would like to type out entire words instead of speaking in one-letter jibberish like a six-year-old child would use.

Why are you such a child?

Grow up, speak (type) english, if you know how.

is it hard to change fuel filter myself if my rear is already gutted? shouldnt be, right?

Its an easy job. Should take no more than 15 minutes.

to replace the fuel filter don't u have to drain all the gasoline out? but other than that there's not much too it right?

No you don't. Just un do the gas cap and relieve the pressure.

Fuel filter is in the engine bay. Fuel pump is in the tank below the back seats.
