Default I had mine changed at around 85k, didn't feel any difference. I'm at 150k now
but I think I'll change it soon simply because it is the fuel filter.

Default if you're refering to the sluggishness from bad gas or water in your tank changing your filter won't
do jack.

I could barely breathe through the old filter, it was almost solid.
