Fuel Filter common sense

Of course just because Porsche says it's a "Life time" fuel filter doesn't mean you will never need to change it. If it clogs at 50,000 miles then that was it's life, if it clogs at 75,000 then that was it's life... as the old joke goes. So of course use common sense and your senses. Be aware of what is normal for your car. If it doesn't seem to have the pep it once had or you sense hesitation or surging at idle or on acceleration then you might need a new fuel filter. Preventative maintenance is a wise policy so change it at 75k or 80K as that probably is the Life of the filter. Porsche caters to an upscale crowd and they figure owners probably trade their cars long before 75K anyway.
