Transaxle:if it's an automatic, it's a %26quot;sealed%26quot; transaxle=100k.

if it's manual=every 30k

fuel filter=every 70k

Check owners manual for service intervals. But fuel filter should be changed approximately every 60,000 miles about same for trans. service
Change the fuel filter every year or about 15-20,000 miles. Auto trans service every 25-30,000 depending on severity of service.
Check your owner's manual
Look in the owners manual, it has a schedule of when everything needs to be changed, I change my fuel filter even other oil change and do the tranny every 3 oil changes (12,000)
Unless the owner's manual says to change the fuel filter, do not touch it...The fuel system is a 'closed' circuit and should never need opening, except perhaps to clean fuel injectors.

(My wife was bilked out of $50 for a fuel filter that did not have to be changed on her Honda CR-V...I got the money back against strong protest from the shop - E-Z Lube in N. Hollywood, CA.)



Same for auto trans service, check the owner's manual for guidance.



Bottom line - it is the driver/owner's responsibility to know what service or maintenance is needed on a their vehicle...Otherwise, one is wide open for extra work and over payments.



All the best.
fuel filter about every 30k miles. tranny service about every 50k miles
I would change the fuel filter at 25,000 miles and change the tranny fluid and filter at 50,000.
