    fuel filter

    Suggestions on when this should be changed? Just did the 15K this morning and was looking through the manual for the fuel filter replacement interval and couldn't find the info.

    I change mine out every 7000 miles.. I never know what the gas stations have floating in their tanks.. It's very easy to do.

    Thanks Scott,

    I wish I would have picked up a filter earlier so I could have installed it today. But, I did put those bushings on the bars and I'm looking for some serpentine turns to try them out

    I think changing every 7000 miles is a little excessive,but it can't hurt. I always fill up with 92 Premium Chevron w/Techron and I have 47,000 miles and have never had a problem with the filter, however it is definately time to change it, before I do have a problem

    May also want to replace the PCV valve pretty often... maybe after every third oil change.
