To play the devil's advocate here for a minute, why are you replacing the fuel filter? A proper filter went out the door years ago. These days it's nothing more than a filter screen and very rarely does it need to be replaced.

If this is preventive maintenance you're wasting your time and money. If there's something else going on, we'd be happy to help diagnose the problem.

 

Yes, I want to do some preventive maintenance to it, I’ve heard sometimes gets very dirty/clogged , car has 60k miles

Don’t do it. I’ve never in my life replaced one. Waste of time and $.

 

Unless you are filling up your tank at some really shady 3rd rate gas stations with rusty tanks on a regular basis, there really isn't any need to replace a fuel filter.

If for some reason your engine is sputtering due to fuel starvation, then maybe you should replace your filter, and stop filling up at shady, rusty tank gas stations.

 

Don’t Listen to people who tell you not to replace it. I work at a Mazda dealership and we replace them all the time as part of the schedule maintenance.

If you look in your owners manual it tells you to replace every 60k.

 

Why don't you give that maintenance schedule another look and get back to us?

For US and Canada residents, there is no entry for replacing the fuel filter.

However if you live in Mexico then yes there is a fuel filter replacement scheduled every 60k kms. I presume for lower quality fuel. So are you mainly servicing cars from Mexico?
