it has a bigger surface area, so itll typically last longer than the normal one.

They make two different oil filters for a 97 protege. I use the larger one, and it lasts longer.

But for the 240, it would be awesome if the larger filter gave better throttle response like you said. Next oil change I might just pick up the 300zx tt one. It fits the threads and all?

^ Fuel Filter guy..

It makes a VERY LITTLE difference. Throttle response is what it mostly affects.

It's just a nice upgrade if it's time to change the Fuel Filter.

its not going to affect fuel pressure. if you are looking for a good fuel upgrade get a walbro 255.

How do you know if you need to change the fuel filter or not? My car has a lot of miles, and I don't know when it was last done.

I say change it once every year. It is only a 10.00 part and its good to be on the safe side.

Well yeah...but like I said, I don't know when it was last changed. I've only had the car for a week. Guess I'll change it anyway, just to be on the safe side.
