I have a nissan x-trail 4x4 2.0l engine 2001 make. i have noticed that when i start the engine, the engine vibrates vigorously for about 10 seconds and then it becomes smooth. I have been wandering if the problem is with a clogged fuel filter or not. I therefore, need guidance on how to replace the fuel filter.

I question if it is the fuel filter. Have you checked fuel pump pressure to see if it is within the manufacturer's specs? Has the check engine light come on?
