Hi-
I went to O'Reilly last night and bought a fuel filter for my 2000 Explorer (SOHC Engine VIN E). It cost all of 6 bucks. I've got some conflicting info though and I want to sort that out before proceeding...
1) The guy told me I didn't need a tool to extract the old filter. He said I just need to break off the nubs on the plastic clips and yank it out. Sound correct?2) The filter itself suggests replacement after 10K miles. Ford always says 30K. Did I get a super cheap one or something?
3) I skimmed through the fuel filter replacement section of the Haynes manual and I it said that the filter should last the life of the car. This can't be the case can it? Is that a typo or is this for some special engine which I do not have?Thanks a lot! You guys are awesome!
