camry 2004

is it necessary changing the fuel filter?if yes at what mile?

under normal driving conditions there is no reason to ever have to change the fuel filter. It is inside the tank.

but for gen 4,it is necessary.am i right?

Gen 4, yes. In the old days it was somewhere around 30-60K. on my 96 Camry, I did it every 60K. That was me. I do know that some people go 90 or more, but I don't like that idea, to much sediment build up etc. I am an over cautious person, and have always bought into something my grandma use to say; "an ounce of prevention is better and cheaper than a pound of cure."

man, to change the fuel filter is a big time job, the labor will kill you?

I think same location for 2005 Gen 5 Camry. but that filter should be changed due to the bad gas we get at the stations.

My aussie Gen 5 actually does specify a fuel filter change at 150km (94miles). Even if it's not specified logic would suggest it should be replaced at least a few times in the car's life.

The farther you away from the major Refinery in NYC, HOU, LOS, then replace fuel filter one time per year.
