Fuel Filter replacement interval

stangt00 · 03-12-2003, 04:35 PM

I was just wondering how often some of you guys change your fuel filters. I am sure mine is stock, 3 years old with 26K miles on it. I am know its time to change it. Does anyone think it might reduce some of the engine performance bein so old? How often should it be changed? I dont think anyone wants to wait till it gets clogged and is a problem before they change it. That happened to my dads Caddy and it cost him lots of $ for them to finally figure out it was the fuel filter

I replace mine every 15k or so just to make sure that I have no problems

The service schedule in your manual tells you. I think I changed mine at about 30 or 35k.
