Filter or strainer. Some older Honda's have a strainer in the engine bay while the more recent ones seems to have a in-tank filter.

As far as i know, strainer is usable for quite long while the filter has to be changed after a period of time according to the service manual.

Either one, don't DIY as the fuel lines are pressurized. And more importantly, don't smoke while you are at it

I only know the Civic FD ones are under the back seat and it is quite a hassle to get to it. I don't mind paying for the labor charge for that job. But 80 bucks to change pollen filter, that is a major nut kicker as that is a 30 second job at most.

Don't see people no up lar. People trying to make a living only.

You get what you pay for right?

Are you highly dependable on what you do? I guess, you can't hope from others what others can't hope from you.

Not saying you are not good at what you do. But it's the generation where expectations are usually higher than the reality.

I wanted to go and reason for that as well because i loathe paying for double the labor charges on the 5k interval.

But after looking at the engine codes on both the GM3 and GM6. They have different engine codes, L15A7 for GM3 and L15Z1 for GM6. So, the basis for reasoning is not really there as they can say the internals is different even though it is the same line of engines for all they want and you lose all grounds.

No guarantees even at honda authorized service centers. You just know / have a place to point your finger and freak out on someone when shitz happen.

Did you ask them if it is really that expensive to swap the pollen filter? I think each labor hour is like RM72++ if i am not wrong and RM80 means they need more than an hour just to open the passenger drawer, unhinge it, unclip the drawer where the filter sits, slide it out, put in the new one and slam everything back in?

If that is the case, tell them to quite horsing around on the factory grounds.

City and Jazz fuel tank is under the driver and front passenger seat. That is why it's there.

For Civic and Accord, it is under the rear seats.
