I just bought a 2013 fit base from the Honda Dealer in my town with 97,000 on it.

I got them to change the transmission oil before I bought the car.

After reading about the trans oil filter I checked to see if they had also replaced it,

After finding they had not changed the filter, I called the dealer and asked if the trans filter change is part of the transmission service package on a fit.

The person in service told me the Fit has no transmission filter and went on to say no Honda cars have transmission filters.

I told him I think the Fit does have a trans filter he again said no way Hondas have Transmission Filters.

1 So is this poor training
2 Laziness
3 Ignorant person
4 stupid person
5 what about the service manager WOW

Also, if someone has any Honda Doc that proves the 2013 Honda Fit, auto transmission, does have a transmission filter please post the doc.
Our two local newspapers wish to do an article on this.

Answer to points 1-5 , yes. Filter is located under the air filter box.

 

Manuals have a filter internally that is meant to last the life of the car, but the autos have serviceable filters, as fit09 has already mentioned.

 

Thank you Sir!
So you are saying this dealer's service people are all of my points?

Ir so, do you think Honda corporate would wish to know about this?

Not sure what your play is, but at best it'll amount to an email or a footnote to a meeting. Those dealers are usually franchise owned, something like that wouldn't make waves. I do my own maintenance because I know better. Short of recalls my car isn't serviced by anyone but myself.
