Default Fuel Filter

What kind of fuel filters is everyone using? I have about 15k on mine in a year and figure can't hurt to change it... car's evolved from stock to cammed and bolt ons and tune so I figure the filter has been worked pretty good, especially since the car is daily driven. Thanks!

You should change the fuel filter every 10-15k miles for best results.

I use AC Delco filters.

Ok cool, I wasn't sure if this was as debatable a subject as which oil/filter to use To which I'm sure you could single handedly nuke the database if you asked that question enough

Thanks!

Chevy dealer here wanted $32 for an AC Delco fuel filter. Went to Pep Boys and got a Purolater for $9.

Stick with GM. Be warned the dealership will want $42 for it installed. If you feel good about doing it yourself you will save some money.
