How often is that in terms of miles? I’m looking at my 4th oil change at 16K, thinking about whether it’s too early to change fuel filters or not.

Coming from you, I'm shocked you're asking this?

It is NEVER too early to change fuel filters. Be proactive, ensure they're clean and fresh. They're cheap and these are part of the engine's vitals as is your engine oil and air filter. These three things should be kept clean and fresh at all times.

I do mine every 6-9K

I would never go over 15K, regardless of what a book says.

Fuel filter negligance is the primary cause of premature fuel pump failure and I'm sure 90% of pump failures in general.

Everyone wants to adhere to today's maintenance intervals, running the same engine oil for 10K-15K, fuel filters get over looked at since you're now changing your oil once or twice a year (sometimes even longer). They end up getting frozen stuck to the housing or rusted on if you use aftermarket housings (and live in colder climates) -- all you're doing is asking for trouble, if you ask me.

In my book, you're WELL overdue for fuel filters.

At 16K, you should have by now changed your engine oil 4 times, a fuel filter replacement and perhaps due for another, and a new air filter as far as general maintenance is concerned.

I cannot stress this enough. It is simply cheap insurance.

Oh oh, i’m going red after reading this!

I’m actually at 12K miles still, pump at high volume stations and use Archoil since day 1, and she sees nothing but pavement really. But i get your point, will be ordering my lower and upper filters now and doing fuel filter change for the first time soon before it gets cold.

Picture her like your better half -- keep her happy and you'll be happy in turn!

So true AZsurveyor with what we pay for these truck and the mods we do fuel filters, oil & filters are cheap.

I do oil every 5K. My first I did at 3K. So the fuel is every 10K at the max.

5k oil change intervals and 15k fuel filters are probably what he is doing. Arod with Ptt recommends that schedule. Basically is the severe duty interval. It’s not too early to change them, probably wouldn’t hurt if you want to do them every 15k. Also, use motocraft fuel filters (you have 2). Look at an spe bill it drain valve, the stock plastic one sucks.

I just ordered this set from Woot via Amazon. I will do mine a little earlier than 15K, closer to 13K. Thanks for the reminder on the drain valve, i didn’t get it on my 22, but now is the right time to change it when changing filters.

Those intervals are considered severe duty?

He’s not wrong, just quoting the standard manual suggested intervals, i happened to check on them today.

What a joke.

Yea. When I stand my knees crack. Sometimes the ol hip.
