Check d condition of the ones ( fuel filter) u removed.... If its ok,... Den don't change it every time... U can skip one service...
As long as u ar using a clean fuel, u don't hv to be changing the filter every 3k .
I suspect the guy is also selling car parts so he wants more money....

I've never set my eyes on the fuel filter and so, I don't know what it looks like. I actually got to know about it (fuel filter) when I asked them to list the items that made up my bills during the last service.

chuka5000:

Bros I really do not know where it is. I only saw it as part of the items that made up my Bills. I asked him and he says he has been changing it with oil filter for each service

Deem:
Yes that is the best practice

Which is best practice please?

ndcide:

Plz clarify you didn't mean oil filter.

I mean oil and fuel filter, both oil and fuellllllll filter.

oseiwe:

count the number of times that you have changed it, tell the mechanic to pay you back.

Lol. Such cases cannot be won.

it's the usual drivel spilled by our semi literate mechs. It's all an avenue to milk those that are gullible.

Hmmmm.What do I know?

Please folks, i need an urgent help here. My mechanic says i must change fuel filter anytime am servicing my vehicle (oil change). This is a brand new vehicle (tear rubber). It was bought 2015. I have done this for over 1 year now (changing oil filter and fuel filter every 3000km not miles).

Please help a brother out.

If you vehicle comes with a manual, pls check the maintenance and service section of the manual. It will be stated there what and when to change. Most Nigeria mechanic only use try and error methods.

Ask him for the exact location and that he should bring out all the ones he has removed before.

Hehehe!! it's like this thread is strictly for car owners. Any way,let me just park my car here and comment first b4 going to mama Nkoyo drinking sport. Enhe! bia Op did i just hear you say fuel filter or are you saying to say oil filter? Mechanics and their wahala. Your mechanic must be feeding fat from your pocket. My car is more than 2years now but i don't even know what is fuel filter. I only change my oil filter when i am changing my oil after every 3months. So your mechanic is just too amazing.
