Any recommendations on fuel filter brand? I will get NAPA brand as I get a very good discount there unless someone can suggest a better brand.

Well I have replaced my fuel filter ad others millions of times. I just replaced mine 3 days ago and I broke the clip on the inlet of the filter that was a pain in the neck to find replacement I use motor craft everything filters and all but napa would be a good second choice for me because they usually are pretty good about OEM parts and replacements stay away from autozone anything IMO but it does take 5 minutes tops to do as long as you have the right tools just the quick disconnect and your good to go every 20,000 it says in my owners manual

Wherever. NAPA, Pep Boys, doesn't really matter. Sears maybe. Hopefully they'll have a decent brand name, and if not just do like I said earlier and hit the outside edge with a file a little bit so it's rounded and it'll do it fine.
