Fuel Filter Requirements
Engine fuel filters should be changed at recommended service intervals aligning with oil changes, or when the "Fuel Filter Service Lamp" activates on the dashboard.
For maximum life of fuel system components, it is not recommended to exceed 100,000 miles on engine fuel filters under any condition.
Currently the Detroit Frame Mounted Fuel Filter and the Davco 385, 482, 485 & 487 are the only compatible frame mounted fuel filters approved for use with GHG17 DD13®/DD15®/DD16® engines.
