Bosch, Mahle, Mann which fuel filter?
Sorry for another fuel filter thread, but I've been searching old threads for half an hour and I still don't know which one to use? Also how often do you change each filter. I'm burning B99 if that makes a difference.

I don't think that any of those Brands will give you any problems.........nor is there any data to prove that one is better or worse than an alternative.
Some folks change filters every year. Others change filters when the vehicle slows down and won't make power anymore. This is most likely to happen in the middle of a heavy rainstorm while cruising down the New Jersey Turnpike at night. So, the choice is yours. Personally, I typically go 2-3 years on the secondary. It's usually close to "issues" at that point. |

Any of those brands should be just fine. As for how often the filter should be changed, that depends on the quality of fuel you're getting. Fuel of bad quality means you'll be changing your fuel filters at shorter intervals. If you're getting good, clean fuel, you can go thousands and thousands of miles before needing to change them. The Maintainence System Sheet for these cars suggests changing them every 60k mi.

what was stated before is correct..
depending on how long u have run b99, your filters may clog quickly at first, due to the cleaning effects of b99, just carry a spare in the trunk and ur set
