What mileage did you change your fuel filter?

 

Here is the link to the thread I started when I changed mine around 62000 miles. It has pictures showing how dirty the inside of the filter was. That's the most miles I'm going to go before changing it again.

 

i didn't change mine until 160k and i had a CEL that it was running lean. Some injector cleaner and a new not clogged filter allowed it to flow enough fuel and clear the light. After i changed it the truck felt like it had 10 more hp. Now i will definatley do it about every fifty thousand miles

 

I did mine at 212K....no cel was on

I just did it b/c I was bored

 

the 4runner im driving needs a new one hmm i wonder if the one from my 22re will fit

 

Did mine when it was 90K. Wish I coulda cracked open the filter to take a look inside.

 

Theres my morning project....

 

I changed mine at 117k. The sludge that was in it was incredible. It'll probably be an every-50k-project.

 

I've changed a few out and always cut them open later. Judging from what they look like at various mileages, I agree, 50K is a good interval to change them out.

 

For those that changed it, did you notice BETTER gas mileage after doing it?

 

My gas mileage didn't change. It just improved the throttle response.

 

 

just did mine last week at 134k along with throttle body cleaning and an amsoil air filter. So far I am getting few mpg's, idles smoother and better throttle response.

 

Just replaced my fuel filter this afternoon and wow! What a difference. Runs like a brand new truck again.

 

Changed at 70K or so. No noticeable difference.

 

changed at 110,000...no real difference....

 

i just did it (trashed & i dint ask em to save it) @ 111k.
i noticed a more consistant mileage, but i was getting high 19/20, now (4 tankfuls) i see low 20's/21 on all 4 fill-ups

 

I started mine today, but once I got the filter off, I realized the parts department sold me the wrong filter. So now I'm stuck at my house with my 4runner that is without a fuel filter. Reno Toyota is incompetent, this is not the first time they have done this. And I paid $40 dollars for it when it's only $25 online! Now to find a ride to the dealership...

 

Put your old filter back on until you get the correct new filter. It's pretty quick to do, and you won't be without a ride.

 

Got the filter done, finally. The parts manager gave me $10 back, so that was nice. Anyways my car is running so much better, all hesitation is gone and it feels stronger. I did more than just the fuel filter though, I cleaned the throttle body, cleaned the PCV, and cleaned and re-oiled my K&N. Also I'm going to throw in a can of BG44k in once I get around to filling up. I'm really looking to get better miles, because I'm driving down to So.Cal soon. I'll keep you posted on mileage.
