Manufactures stipulate that the fuel filter is a lifetime part... But we all know this to be crap. So it is advised to change every 3rd oil change (as someone above stated - my
Haynes Manual confirms this too {every 45,000 miles}).
However if you
Google “fuel filter change”, you will come across a variety of opinions, but most seem to circle the topic of:
- The fuel quality and
- If the car is driven frequently
Personally I would change it every year.
