Dirt is the #1 enemy of your engine’s fuel system. Even the smallest piece of dirt can damage a fuel injector, resulting in erratic performance, poor gas mileage and, in some cases, complete engine shutdown. A clean fuel filter is one of the best ways to ensure dependable, trouble-free performance. That’s why most car-care experts recommend replacing the fuel filter in your vehicle approximately every 16,000 kilometers or once a year for peak performance. (Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for recommended procedures and maintenance schedules.)
If you are considering changing your vehicle’s fuel filter, a NAPA Auto Parts store near you will carry the replacement parts and tools for a variety of car, truck, and SUV models. If you prefer to have your fuel filter changed by a professional, find a NAPA AUTOPRO near you and an experienced NAPA mechanic will service your vehicle.
