Fuel Filter Replacement
Who can give me the right gouge on fuel filter replacement interval on the Black. Have just under 15K on the odo and was thinking about replacing them. Until that is, I found out that they were an integral part of the fuel pump x 2 for a total of about $1100 
Will choke it down if I need to, but don't want to replace them until needed.

Verdict seems to be 6yrs/60K miles. That said, what a cra**py design...replacing two perfectly good fuel pumps as part of routine, preventative maintenance. What was MB thinking!
