If not, then the Honda engineers did a good thing by not adding a maintenance item that would just cause trouble and expense over the car's life. I am guessing that the only reason I have an inline magnetic filter now is that the rebuilder knows that a reman is likely to shed a little more metallic debris early in it's life. I think this because there is a requirement to replace the fluid every 30K miles using only Honda Z1, but there is no requirement to change the filter. Of course, I will, but it is still worth noting.
