I just bought a repalcement fuel filter at advace auto. Now the filter does not match the one on the car right now. Its a 95 gsr. It kinda has 3 fittings for the filter. ONe on the top, bottom and side. THe one i got doesnt have a fitting on the side. Is that just a bracket? Looked at my helms but its for tegs 96+. Any input? any parts number?

 

It shoul only have 2 fittings one on to and one on the bottom. The bracket holds it in the middle (side)

 

the filter you should have for that car is Purolator F44870....see pic below

 

Is it even good to run those filters? Or should I stay with OEM and get it for $20?

You'll see when you take the filter off.

 

thanks... would i just attach the side hose back onto the same spot on the filter? Thanks... i did get the purulator filter.

 

I just got OEM.....its not that expensive

the side hose attaches to the bracket that holds the filter, not the filter itself.

 

How often to change fuel filter??

 

I usually do mine around every 30K or so.

 

if you ask the dealer, they claim that thier fuel filter is a lifetime filter and you dont hafta change it......hahaha...not sure exactly how that works since its a ....filter! lol.....i've only changed mine once and it was at about 75k miles.....30k sounds like a good incrament though, im just lazy!

 

werd on the lazy part...iono but i am getting tired of fixing up my ride, compared to when i first got her.
