I used a Z32 filter....lots of fuel starts pouring when you change it. &nbsp;Oh yea its every 60K miles....i think. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

i just changed my fuel filter 2 weeks ago and it made a HUGE difference for me. &nbsp;i'd say its been about 40k miles, whatever it is, it was way too long... i went with a 300TT filter as well ($5 &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> ). &nbsp;its about the easiest thing u can change on your car
