Fuel Filter Change

[scottmcd]

How often are you changing your fuel filter during the winter months?? I got 7,500 on this one and it was filthy, usually go 10,000. Could it be the winter blends?? TIA Scott

I just changed mine at 15,000 and it was fairly clean. I bought it December of last year and changed it December of this year.

I previously changed mine every 10k or 11k miles. After my last fuel filter change, it looked so nasty that I've now decided to do it every oil change..... about every 6k or 7k miles or so (I'm now running 5W40 Rotella Synthetic).

May I suggest a couple threads to read:



This one... (images don't seem to appear, though).



And this one.



I have gone to a filter replacement interval by hours rather than miles. 350 hours.
