did a bunch of black dirt come out of the old filters?
to see that the old ones were installed the wrong way. im suprised the car would even run if they were facing the wrong way. car seems to be running a lot better now. I didnt get a chance to flush my brakes because i broke 2 of the 4 clamps and had to find 2 to replace them. the stock ones are POS.

change em every 30000 miles if you have 2, or 15000 if you have 1.

no, the fuel actually came out clean. but the filters had a december 1999 date on them. i guess the last person put them on backwards. the arrows are supposed to face the drivers side.

5/16 is a tad under 8mm.
Gone but not forgotten
you might have 6mm ones.
