Fuel Filter confusion
Hi-
I went to O'Reilly last night and bought a fuel filter for my 2000 Explorer (SOHC Engine VIN E). It cost all of 6 bucks. I've got some conflicting info though and I want to sort that out before proceeding... 1) The guy told me I didn't need a tool to extract the old filter. He said I just need to break off the nubs on the plastic clips and yank it out. Sound correct? 2) The filter itself suggests replacement after 10K miles. Ford always says 30K. Did I get a super cheap one or something? 3) I skimmed through the fuel filter replacement section of the Haynes manual and I it said that the filter should last the life of the car. This can't be the case can it? Is that a typo or is this for some special engine which I do not have? Thanks a lot! You guys are awesome! -troy |
