I'm having a hell of a time finding a fuel filter for my Maxima. I have an '03 and all the parts stores say it's not available or it's dealer only. Is this true? I'd also like to change the PCV valve if that's even available or if the Maxima even has one. Please help.

 

yeap thays true if i recall the only fuel filter u have on that car is most likely same one as mine its on the full pump..the strainer. there is no fuel filter on it 95-99 have the option of the filter bein under the hood behind the block.Pcv yea we have one..lol on my 2000 max its right under the throttlebody as far as the 3.5 go i couldnt tell ya.. hope this helps

 

You do have a fuel filter. I did a write up and it should still be in the stickies. You'll have to order the filter and a new O-ring while your at it from Dave B. Also in the stickies.

By the way it's under your back seat. Pop it up and you'll see the fuel tank cover.

Also, p2kmax you have a fuel filter as well. Same place ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Also,

Fuel Filter Write up. My pics are dead and I'm not going to take the time to re-host. Good luck

It also has the part numbers so you can order them from the dealership. DON'T let the dealership tell you you don't need to do this. They are full of ****!

well ty i didnt know that i notice it when i was running the wires for my system but i only thought that was the fuel pump....thanks again

 

Hey guys I have a 2000 GLE with about a 85k, could I use a new fuel filter??

 

its been debated on here for years....no real consensus.

i recommend doing some research on here and making your own decision

 

Well I have come to the conclusion that at 85k it can't hurt!! Anyone able to suggest how to do it, or better yet where is the best place to get the parts to go about this "project" and if anyone has any descriptive pictures with detailed instructions that would assist me during the process of installation I would greatly appreciate it!! I can't figure something out, is the part that needs to be changed called a filter, or strainer?? Oh and is this better/safer done as a do it ur'selfer or is there an expert shop that would do it right the first time if u know wut I mean, just to save the hassle?? Thanx a million Bro's...
