Dear Ones,

My 98 Camry is at 92,000 Kms. I saw couple of the posts that they are saying to change the
fuel filter every year. I called Toyota dealership and they told that Toyota never
recommend to change the fuel filter. Could you please let me know your ideas about the
fuel filter change.

Thank You,

With Regards
Chand

Fuel filters on Import cars are not the same crap Domestics used in the 70s. To add, it is very rare for fuel to have debris in it.
Import fuel filters have an indefinate liefspan. Normally 100-200,000m before they actually *need* to be changed.
At 92,000km I say leave it another few years. If it makes you feel good to change it, go for it. It's a pain in the arse to change, I'll tell you that.

If your car runs fine on the expressway, with gas to spare, leave it alone. The fittings on the associated tubing are soft and easily screwed up. Bung them up and you have alot more work ahead of you.
