i want to change the fuel filter on a corolla xrs . is there a better after market filter? where is the filter location and what tools do i need to change the filter?

why?? there's no reason to change it as it's brand new and there would be no gains in hp/torque if you did so anyways. So I'm asking again... why??

im use to changing all the filters at least once a year. reason being ive had other toyotas that wouldnt run with dirty fuel filters.

Well an EFI filter on a new car should last several THOUSAND kilometers.

so much for replacing the fuel filter in a xrs. apparently the fuel filter is in the tank and is nothing more than a sock over the fuel pickup. the service manager has no ideal of when to change the sock,i guess when ever it gets dirty.

I'd say more like: When you have to replace the fuel pump.

yea we have ones like that.. they come in to get it replaced and the thing has like 150k on it and still thing looks like brand new

I love the location of the ae92 fuel filter. right on the firewall

Did you get a second opinion on this? I find it very surprising that there is no inline fuel filter.

there are 2 filters on 2000 and up corollas....both are in the fuel tank. One is the sock that goes over and the other is inside a white box where the fuel pump is.........wouldn't bother replacing these.......no point....its too much work. I have 170 000 km on my rolla and don't have any fuel related problems yet.
