That is the factory recommendation for cars with accessible filters; in reality, the cars that had filters (not all years do) seem to do pretty well on the 60K cycle, unless something got into the tank with the gas. The reason Porsche went to the in-tank non serviceable filter was that they were not really having the filters clog very often; so they went with a cheaper, but non serviceable design unit, as did many other OEM's.
