Just go to Auto Zone and order the regular one and change it every 10k miles.... or less.

If you're doing an oil change, cleaning a grease pit, or repacking wheel bearings, changing the fuel filter after that on your car is a great way to clean up your hands
. I got a little bath myself....the biggest annoyance was the gas running up my arm as I was laying under the car 7 Second Club

One last thing with Fuel Filters welll i been looking alot into this because fuel gettin to your engine is number 1 in my book and everyone said that the ones from autozone were fine pureatlor? something like that, they cost like 5 bucks nothing great, but i did find a much better one....next time you replace yours go to NAPA and get one from them but make sure to get gold series its 15 bucks and alot better than the other ones

Hmmmmmmm please explain. Did you have the fuel tested after installing each filter? Did you gain horsepower from this napa filter?What is it that makes one filter better than the other?

My eyesight isn't good enough to see in the little threaded openings, so you'll definitely need to explain what makes the Napa version so much better.

:You can make fun of me all you want, but obviously you found the story on my website to be interesting enough to read it all.
