All petrol engines with an EXTERNAL filter, use the same unit in the same position
(👇see below 👇 for in-tank vs external clarification).
The specified change interval is 36,000 miles (58,000km)

I’ve got so used to using grips for this job, I’ve never bought a set of fuel hose release pliers. However, this type of connector is used on so much more than just fuel filters on modern cars that I think I shall invest soon (I really ought to practice what I preach, lol). If you’re just starting out, I’d defo recommend investing in a pair of these.

This large square garden tray is so useful for catching bits, dirt, spilled liquids or for keeping tools in one place:

If like me you have a tarmac drive, then a tray of some sort is essential. Solvents and oils can do considerable damage to tarmac.

Making these videos is a “passion” for me. I’m using my 35+ years as an Automotive Engineer and car maintenance DIYer and hope they help people out.
