Does fuel filter ever need replacing?

[RonJ]

I would think a fuel filter should be changed every 50-75000 miles just like most spark plugs

Spark plugs should minimally be replaced every 30K miles.

Ive seen plugs go for 100,000 but I guess my range and is a little high, still say every 50-75000 for fuel filter even though ive never changed one on my coupe that I put over 120xxx miles on( half of that was boosted). Dont want to do it to much so your not wasting money but in certain vehicles if your their you might as well change it (this doesnt apply to civics since its on the firewall, but vehicles like my 4runner its on the block under everything imaginable)

Cost? You can get a set for $12, right.

The service manual suggests 30K miles. I do mine every 25K because it's so cheap.

Good plugs and wires = long lived coil

So do you guys stick to oem brand filters or?

oem filters

Good answer :

You can buy the Honda fuel filter from Majestic Honda for about $20. Due to shipping/handling charges, if you order other tune up items or other parts, the cost of the filter will be similar to what you pay at a local auto parts store.

With that said, I have used auto parts store filters without a problem.

Sorry I wasnt talking about price of plugs, I should have stated that betterbecause i know plugs are cheap and so are fuel filters, i was just saying no point in wasting money and overly changing stuff like that. When im doing major maint and i order from majestic i usually get things like the fuel filter with my spark plug, cap and rotor, and plug wires just so i dont have to use a parts house brand

I change mine every 2-3 years just because so cheap. At advanced auto they have a 5 year warranty on ngk plug wires so it's worth it to do that often

Yeah, the ignition systems in our cars cause the most common issues, so maintaining them well is definitely worthwhile to prevent breakdowns.

Reminds me of a friend who thought "tune ups" weren't necessary till his 99 civic started misfiring.

Tuned it up for him and a minute later the distributor died. Told him probably from it running rough that new parts were too much for it to handle and crapped out. Not sure if true but made sense to me lol

I changed mine for the first time after 200k and didn't see or notice a difference before or after . I didn't need to but I just felt like doing it as part of some maintenance.

It's an item you won't notice a difference but your engine will thank you
