It's hard to tell if your serious. You can get a new filter for about $12.00, a fuel line disconnect tool for about $6, and change it yourself in 15-20 minutes.

More like 10 minutes. I do mine every 15,000. My dealer charges $28.50 for an oil change(but sends out coupons for $19.95) and $69 dollars for the fuel filter. Makes no sense to me.

For reference, at our local Ford dealer - I paid $55.00 for the fuel filter change. They charge $26.95 for a 7 quart synthetic blend Motorcraft oil and Motorcraft oil filter change. A 7 quart, pure synthetic Mobil 1 oil and Motorcraft filter change is $68.00.

If that is a Motorcraft filter, that's a great price. The first filter I bought was AutoZone's own brand and I took one look at it, threw it away. Went and got a Motorcraft. i won't use anything but Motorcraft, Purolator and maybe Wix.
