Just about on all of my vehicles I change the filter every 6000 to 7500 miles basicly after my 2nd spark plug and oil change. I just do it that often for a since of secruity, that and if something happens fuel related I can scratch that off my list. Cause its new

I probably need to change mine on the exped...Im sure the PO never changed it.

I changed it on my old 7.3idi and saw a huge difference.

what was the difference noticed....... gas milage, power, ?????? .............. at only $10 for part plus another $10 for tool........ not bad if I notice a difference

not much difference. i just do it when im like might as well. since its cheap. last time i did it was at 150k. i dont think it has ever been done before that. just letting you know. fuel will get EVERYWHERE!!! find a big clean bucket or bowl and save it. its like $2.34 you spill when you take it off. haha and yes exactly $2.34 is how much fuel you waste.

I have done it every 30K miles as recommended in the manual. I can't say I have seen an increase in gas mileage or power when it is changed though.

Here's the rule of thumb. If you notice a difference after you changed the fuel filter, you waited too long to change the fuel filter.

I agree. You should not notice a difference when you change it. I do it once a year.
