Best way to determine when to change your fuel filter is to install a fuel pressure gauge. Just eliminating two needless filter changes based on mileage or months alone will easily pay for a gauge that is handy to have.
I don't change my filter until fuel pressure at highway cruising speed drop 3-5 psi. I usually can go 30-50k miles between changes.

How to Measure 12 Valve Fuel Pressure
This is true I usually get 40k on a filter but this last time I only got 20k. He needs to check the filter even if it had 5k on it just to rule it out if for no other reason, or install a gauge. He does not seem to want to do either.
