everyone change your fuel filter now!

everyone if you havnt changed your fuel filter in a while, or dont know if its ever been changed change it. i've had my 89 gxl for a year and 15k miles and i changed the fuel filter last week and damn.

my car wouldnt idle before and now it idles perfectly, i get better milliage, and it feels smoother throught the rev's. it was an aftermarket filter on there, but i dont know if its ever been changed.

so change yours

Mine looked original... It looked like old engine oil that came out of it... It had rough startup problems before and after I changed it it starts like a new car. Now to change the tranny fluid, dif fluid, and belts.

It's every 30,000 miles. Earlier is okay/better.
