Maintaining your fuel filter

Select a different vehicle to begin a new search

Just like you, your vehicle needs fuel to run. But when the fuel filter gets clogged, your engine’s performance can be affected. It’s the automotive equivalent of exercising without having eaten.

A new fuel filter helps remove contaminants from the fuel, while still flowing the proper amount to your engine.

And because the engine will run properly, you’ll enjoy optimal performance and efficiency.

WHEN YOU SHOULD CHANGE FUEL FILTERS

But you may want to replace your fuel filter if:

Your vehicle is difficult to start
Your vehicle idles rough or stalls
You experience sluggish acceleration
You experience decreased fuel economy
You suspect a bad tank of fuel

If your vehicle is not listed under Fuel Filter Replacement in the owner's manual, your vehicle may have a non-serviceable filter.
