I'll be visiting the dealer soon and I'm making a list of parts to stock up on - dealer too far away for routine stuff.

I don't recall seeing a fuel filter change on the list of scheduled maintenance items. Most manufacturers nowadays seem to have done away with the separate fuel filter, and have combined the fuel pump and fuel filter and put both inside the gas tank, which is probably why it's not a regular maintenance item :smile:

This is just a guess BTW, I don't have the owner's manual in front of me but last time I was under the car I don't remember seeing a fuel filter anywhere. Perhaps someone who is more informed will chime in :smile:

I'll go take a look, but are you telling me that they have the fuel filter within the passenger compartment??? or is there an access panel?
