Can I replace the fuel filter myself?
While some vehicle owners with mechanical experience may choose to replace their fuel filters, it’s generally recommended to have a professional perform the service. This ensures that the replacement is done correctly and safely, as the fuel system is under pressure and can be hazardous.
