Fuel filter

I need to change my fuel filter soon probably this next week and I was wondering if I could get some input as to what filter I should get. I've heard bad things about fram as far as air and oil filters but idk about fuel. What do you think

Re: Fuel filter

I also use fram never had a problem. Use them on all 3 cars I have for years now. The eclipse has had 5 oil changes on them. But I never run them over 3k on a filter.

I have heard horror stories where the filters deteriorate but I've heard that about all brands not just fram.

Re: Fuel filter

A local club member used to work at a lab that tested oil filters among other things. The Frams were among the worst tested. Pure 1 and OEM were the best.

For fuel filters, I always use OEM. Something that will be in the car for over 50k miles, might as well spend a bit and get one you can trust.

Re: Fuel filter

on the turbo and spyder gs it's located next to the battery tray. I'm not sure where it is on crysler engine.

To get to it easily, remove the battery and tray. It's like right there. Make sure to depressurize the fuel rail first or risk getting gas all over.
