RE: when should i change the fuel filter?

check the tech thread and i changed mine at 22k....i would recommend doing it sooner, like every 15k or maybe 10K....they are cheap so its no big deal

I just changed mine two weeks ago, 'cause I noticed my idle was a little off. Simple and effective operation

. Now I plan on doing it evry 15k or so.

I change mine every 15,000. Again because it's cheap and easy.

Just did the filter change. Here are the pictures of the original and new filters. Looks like the light had a little harder time getting through the old one...lol. It had 12,000 miles on it.
