Fuel Filter

[Lux]

All Toyota automobiles use lifetime fuel filters. That means, by design, it will outlast your car. However, filter media become clogged prematurely from contamination through the filler, either by dirty refueling equipment or simply dirty fuel (like from a jerry can that has been sitting in your garage).

You should not change the filter unless you or a technician have diagnosed unequivocally that the fuel pump is suffering from poor output. However, that is no reason to ignore regular fuel system services... and I'm not referring to that snake oil garbage you pour into your fuel tank. A genuine fuel service involves either feeding a pressurised fuel-detergent mixture directly into the fuel rail and running the car from it without the fuel pump, or removing every injector for a reconditioning.
