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

A clogged fuel filter would result in loss of power, more noticeable at higher engine rpms.
