    I have a 2005 with 45000 miles and the fuel filter hasn't been changed. Because of the low miles I wasn't considering changing it. The question is should I change it out or leave it go for a while?
    No problems with fuel starvation.
    If required, are there any special tools required to change it and what is the best brand?
    Merry Christmas

    If it aint broke, don't fix it. The fuel filter isn't a regular maintenance deal.

    Very good. I was just thinking it was an external filter like my older cars. Guess I should not assume. I will leave it go. Thanks for the reply.

    Your engines have disdain towards you. ^^^^ lol.

    Just because YOU don't, is not a prescription for others not to.
