Fuel filter change required
I've been changing fuel filters every second oil change. This week I had a message start popping up in the message center saying: Fuel Filter Change Required.
Never saw it before. Anyone know if it's a computer tracked thing like the oil change reminder? Or is it detecting a restriction in the filter? Regardless I'm taking it in tomorrow for a filter change but thought I'd ask and see how it determines that it needs one.

This. You have to reset both your oil life monitor AND your fuel filter in the message center. Separate resets.

There is a sensor to detect plugged filters, but that will alert you with a "Low Fuel Pressure" message. If that happens the truck needs service ASAP.
