My Camry has 120,000 miles and I'd like to replace the fuel filter. What brand is reccomended?

Go with OE their pretty cheap anyways. It just a good practice even though toyota says they last forever.

Or go and get a Wix filter from NAPA, or Carquest.

OEM are $40, WIX are $20.

I cut open both types and the OEM are made much better than any aftermarket. They probably could be lifetime, because mine had almost no accumulation at over 100,000 miles. I just changed it for peace of mind.

Thanks for the replies. I purchased a purolator today. Like bcsbadboys, I'm just doing this for peace of mind. I can't imagine that putting in a new fuel filter after 120,000 miles will not help.

I paid $10 CDN at Napa, for the wix, which fit in perfectly and it is sooo easy to change, I will probably not bother with the OEM/ Dealer part.

Some other Aftermarket parts do not fit right, and need to be careful when trying to save some money.

Does anyone has a picture of a fuelt Filter for 1998 Camry LE 4 cyl. 5SFE, transmission: A140E

FRAM has a hole on it, like BOLT HOLDER,

And the other end, has a rubber cap on it, do i have to take the cap OFF of it, before i install that?

Is the darker part on the strip dirt from gas, or is that the default color?

csaxon · 05-14-2008, 08:26 PM

Fine dirt and sediment. The in[tank sock filter gets most of the thicker stuff.

This filter had about 80,000 miles.

djmalisk · 05-14-2008, 10:07 PM

i changed mine today, and had 120.500 miles on it. It was hard to unscrew the thing from underneath, but when i put the new one in, at first started to spray gas all over, and then i tried again, and i got it on right

i didnt look at the filter inside though .... gotta be worst then the one on the picture here
