oh i thought they were more than that.i only bought one so far and didn't remember well i guess.
changing it every 3k miles,is just swapping another new for new there Quintin.even a small filter would last longer than that probably.these things are pretty large fuel filters lol.though sometimes we can get crap from stations,im sure its not that bad.
if you add a 0 to your 3k and go 30k i think you'll be safe.

I change mine about every 10K miles or once a year, about every other oil change. With the garbage you get for fuel, there's no way I would stretch it out to 60K miles.

Mine cost about $43 from NAPA, but it's the one that has the water separator built in. I think the regular replacement one was $25ish.

I know where the WIF light is, but where is the 'FUEL FILTER' light? I guess I could get off my lazy butt and go look.......
