i work at a shop and you are suppose to change the fuel filter every 15k miles, it is located right behind the gas tank up under the car

make sure when removing that you push the fuel line up on the tool. Not the tool into the fuel line. For those of you who wait 50k miles to change their fuel filter...it might be a pain in the butt to get off.

I change all my vehicles fuel filters every 20,000 miles or 18 months. Remember there's no such thing as excess. In my opinion if your not putting over $200 a year into a car for maintenance it's not getting enough.

I change mine every year. As someone already said, they are cheap and with the proper tool it is rather easy.
