There is no certain specified interval for replacing your vehicle's fuel filter. Only if you experience fuel system issues should you replace the fuel filter.

I found out myself, I was told the feul filter was on the passenger side, mid way down, by an auto parts worker and even a repair manual, both of them were wrong.

The feul filter is located on the drivers side, just under the back door area.

Thanks anyway everyone, kingly7
