Fuel filter replacement

Quick question guys. It is now time for me to change my fuel filter. I have read somewhere that a filter ment for the 300 would be the best choice as it is larger. What are your guys thoughts on this? Should I go with the smaller filter meant for a 94 GXE or the 300's?

your choice...the OEM filter is fine for the car.

the 300ZX just give you more time between changes.

I personally get my fuel filter from the dealership b/c it seems to be a much nicer part than normal parts store. But remember to undo your fuel tank cap to relieve the pressure. Then remove the fuel pump fuse and try to crank your car about 3 times. That will relieve the fuel pressure. Get some rags and change the filter. It shouldn't take you more than 15-25 minutes if you are a slow worker.

Do it on a cool motor and don't smoke! Have fun!

In that case, if the screws to the filter are tight, just heat them with a torch to help them loosen easier......JK of course!!!!!!!!
