Default Fuel Filter Change?

does anyone know when this is supposed to be changed out? I didnt see anything about it in the scheduled service manual. Lately my fuel mileage isnt what it used to be and dont know how to make it better. i have a new filter, new spark plugs and tires inflated and it doesnt seem to help. Thanks

i would reset the ecu take off ur negative side battery and wait a minute so all the power goes out and turn ur car on and let it idle for 10 mins, DO NOT touch the gas pedal after u do this it will adjust the fuel mixture, turn it off and drive normally for 10 miles remember dont be a lead fooot its learning the fuel curve again

because sually the fuel filter does not need to be changed until ur over 100 miles or the car has a hard time strting and the idle flluctuates, good luck i used to have that problem and restting the ecu helped, also try using seafoam it helps also but u gotta reset ur ecu afterwards again
