Hi,
I was doing some general maintenance on my 2002 S this weekend..... I called the dealer to get a new fuel filter and they said that my fuel filter is in the fuel pump and can not be changed, moreover, It will last a lifetime.

How can this be?? A filter that never clogs?

Also, They told me not to change my antifreeze either. I questioned him and he said that the antifreeze should never need to be replaced.

Again....how can this be?

Just a FYI, my wife picked up and paid for the parts for this weekends work.
After I installed the spark plugs, She informed me of the cost, 15$ EACH!!!!!!

265$ for air, cabin filter, poly rib belt, 6 plugs. Of course she paid without a second thought.
Crazy stuff!!
