Just changed mine (the filters) yesterday. I had been neglectful and had 19K on the filters. Using oil on the o rings helped mine to come off very easy, even after that many miles.
I just use a socket for mine. I can do the lower filter easier than I can the engine top filter. If it took 5 minutes, I'd be surprised.
Neglectful? My manual says every 22K and that's what I did.

22k is within the normal requirements. Many of us follow the severe (special) duty for fuel filters though. I'm not more knowledge than the engineers but with a fuel system repair between $9k to $10k (indirect experience on an F350 DRW) and my own observations on seven filter kits or so, it seems like a good idea to keep the filters clean. I'm changing fuel filters every other oil change, which run around 7,500 miles each per the IOLM.

There’s more opinions on fuel filter changes than on oil/filter changes, I think. Some have said they change fuel filters when they change oil.
The (2017) filter on the right has about 25,000 miles on it. I use Petro/TA fuel almost exclusively.
Didn't take a pic of mine, but it was a bit darker, but still clean, course i am running the other type of filter so the filter media may effect the color?
