    Wow. Guess I should look to find mine and just reprice it. Got 20K on my 14 RT. Probably need to change the air filer at the same time.

    Default Maintenance manual for 2008-2012 Roadster

    The Maintenance Manual says it should be replaced every 19000mi (30000km) or every 5 years which ever comes first.

    I bought my Spyder 5 month ago with 15 000 miles, I use premium most of the time since but I don't know what the previous owner used on it.

    So you should keep the same fuel filter for another 72 000 miles!......no I'm just kidding! Any kind of filter needs to be changed, even if you put the top shelf gas or oil...it's called maintenance

    The type of gas and frequency of oil filter changes are really meaningless ..... Where you get your gas and how well they Maintain there FILTERS is the KEY ...... and there's no way of knowing this ...... well there is , your filter gets clogged and it causes engine issues .... Mike
