How often do you change your fuel filter??

1992Si

Did mine once at 25,000 miles like the manual said, back in 1993. Next time it was changed was at 216,000 miles when it became a full race car.

How bad of a mileage do you guys think Im getting if I haven't changed my fuel filter in like 70k miles?

My 05 Legacy GT with 108.000 miles has the original fuel filter.

Most people never change them. My 86 Ford F150 has it's original as well as the 97 Suburban.

Yeah I was wondering that, I just wanted to see if I could get better mileage changing one.

i never actually compared the numbers, but when i did change it i noticed an immediate improvement on mpg and the motor seemed a bit smoother

It is really one of the things people forget to change.

I thought on the 96 and up Civics the fuel filter was good for the life of the car?

i am only the second owner of the car, i don't know if the original ever changed it but whe i did last summer i was suprised at what i found. When you have the filter out of the car shake it around and see what comes out, mine looked kinda like chocolate milk!!!!

Don Napier

I would change them every 15,000
