Default Fuel Filter, when are you replacing?

I know what the manual says (25.000 for E.F.I.). Just wondering at what mileage everyone is actually replacing theirs?

Per manual, 25k. That would be give or take @600 gal of fuel going through that filter if I'm calculating correctly.

I replaced mine around 30k and it was pretty dirty. Won't let it go past the recommended 25k next time.

Is this a hard job, any special tools required. Mine been going for 32,000km without a change, so its time.
