Fuel Filter Change Is Changing The Fuel Filter Fairly Easy? The Biggest Job I've Ever Done Is An Ls6 Intake Swap. And That Was A Pain But It Was Easy. I Dont Even Know Where The Filter Is At. Please Help!

I found out the hard way too Every 30K is recommended. You can probbaly get away with changing it later though. Careful though as a clogged dirty filter could limit fuel flow at high rpm making your car run lean and ping, but this is a worst case scenario, youll likely never clog a filter to this point unless you picked up a tank of few of filthy gas.

I just do it every time I change the plugs which is about 10k miles. Its cheap, and it doesn't take long to do - except the one time I had a bitch of a time getting the flare nut to thread back into the filter for some odd reason.
Its a bit mess, have alot of rags ready, do it in a well ventilated place, and wear gloves - the gas will burn your hands if you are in prolonged contact with it.

i just did this like 2 weeks ago, when you take your old filter off the gas would not stop coming out of the line from the tank to the filter, so i quickly put the new filter on that line and it stopped it from coming out then i just slid it into the bracket and screwed it back on
