Hey guys just a quick question on when the fuel filter should be changed and what are the signs of the filter needing changing?

I've been told once every 3 services, so that'll be 15,000Ks

But services are everything 15,000km as it is
Just oil/filter changes every 5

Well I get mine serviced every 5 000 Ks and I care enough for my car to do it at 5000.. wouldn't ever let it go 15 000 without a service.

If you don't believe me other people will tell u the same thing

5k if u change your oil every 5k. don't get me started on this again ! hehe.

fuel filter every 15k seems a but unnecessary IMO. But if u feel like it go for it - its just a bitch to do!

other cars recommend fuel filter change like at 70,000kms so i dont know why 15k is required. Thats over kill for no reason.

If mitsu recommend 100000 to cahnge why do it every 15000kms???

Its over kill, filters at 1000000kms are still good!

I agree. if its easy to do then do it for $15. Next time u chnage your filter after 100,000 cut it in half and see the crap inside then decide what is a good CI.
