If that's the 1st time since '99, keep buying fuel where you have been. You ain't doin' too bad
Mine usually looks like that and I change mine every 2nd oil change.

How many miles on the fuel filter?
<br><br>Not sure. I've put 5K on it since I bought it, aside from that... who knows?<br><br>

<br><br>I certainly hope it's not the first change since '99 , but even if it is, there's not much I can do about it now. What I don't know can't hurt me, right? How many miles is &quot;every other oil change&quot; for you? I plan on doing the fuel filter every 10K.<br><br><br>

About 12,000 miles on a fuel filter. But I usually only buy fuel at high volume stations.
(If Big Rigs fuel up there, I will too)

Re:Ya think I was due?

When I would change my PSD filter, it would be black. Now my CTD filter is a light grey color when I change it. I fuel at the same place. I'm using Power Service in the CTD, I never noticed any difference with the PSD, so I didn't use it. Is the difference the Power Service, where did the black stuff go? Maybe they are just two different animals?
