Best bet is to ask the dealer. The filter in our Sorrento is a lifetime filter - basically just a mesh bag around the pump inside the tank.
What's the most amount of miles that someone on here has run a 2004.5+ Spectra without changing the in-tank fuel filter?
I'm at 53k right now, and the car is running fine.
I'm taking to heart the discussion about where either the pump goes bad due to mishandled filter change AND/OR the pump goes bad because it slowly clogs, causing the pump to overheat/overwork.
I'm leaning towards getting the filter changed soon at the dealership, so that I've got at least 4k miles or so left before the bumper-to-bumper warranty is off.
My dealer also told me that the filter doesn't need changed. The guy's story above about how the dealer's might shy away from recommending this repair because it can ultimately cost them $$$ sounds feasible to me.
So again.... what's the most amount of miles someone has gotten away without a filter change without any noticeable issues.
