I bought from my sister and brother-in-law their 2000 Acura RL w/160K. All servicing was done at Acura dealerships at quite a price.
The stack of receipts I have is impressive.
With no mention of CAF replacement I set out to remove it. I suppose it may have been included in some scheduled service.
The car has a 2 piece filter. The elements are cheap and flimsy and are set into two equally cheap and flimsy frames which hinge.
The aft frame was broken and had a side missing. Folded over Scotch Tape was used to secure things.
Not a huge deal I know but for Heaven's sake, can't Acura people perform such basic jobs correctly?
I expect monkeys without training or experience to be moved around any shop to free higher paid employees for other tasks...but c'mon!
Now I'll again go through the receipts and I'll betcha I won't find mention of CAF anywhere because the dealerships want to maintain deniability.
And don't get me started on the "decarbonization" treatments they sold my mechanically disinclined brother-in-law.
