Fuel Filter Importance

Does the fuel filter play a roll in mpg performance? I don't believe my honda has ever had it's replaced, it's at 170,000+ atm.

What's a good brand to buy? Just an OEM brand?

Re: Fuel Filter Importance

I dont know if it affects MPG but it is a good idea to replace it with that many miles. I replaced mine with one from o'riellys and no problems for 20k miles. just be sure to replace the crush washers

Re: Fuel Filter Importance

it only needs to be replaced when the fuel pressure drops below spec. either the injectors get the fuel they need or not.
