Default Fuel Filter, when are you replacing?
I know what the manual says (25.000 for E.F.I.). Just wondering at what mileage everyone is actually replacing theirs?

Per manual, 25k. That would be give or take @600 gal of fuel going through that filter if I'm calculating correctly.

I replaced mine around 30k and it was pretty dirty. Won't let it go past the recommended 25k next time.
