Fuel Filter?????????

Has anyone replaced their fuel filter yet? Someone told me MB recommends this be changed every 40,000 miles.

The service guide for W212 cars sold in the U.S. says 150K miles or 15 years. Unless you live in an area where dirty/contaminated gas is a problem, I'd say someone is trying to sell you an unnecessary service.

WOW, it sounds too much in mileage wise or we are replacing it too frequently

given that every two oil change intervals that corresponds to 2 year and no more than 30K kilometers

If you are in a BTC it 20k or 40k depending on your year and tolerance.
