However, it's crucial to check your owner's manual. This manual will give the *precise* recommended interval for your specific Aveo model and year. Failing to consult the manual could lead to premature wear or engine damage.
Factors that might necessitate earlier replacement include:
* Poor fuel quality: Using consistently low-quality fuel can clog the filter faster.
* Driving conditions: Frequent off-road driving or driving in dusty areas can increase wear.
* Noticeable performance issues: If you experience problems like decreased fuel economy, rough idling, or difficulty starting, a clogged fuel filter could be the culprit. This warrants an inspection sooner than scheduled.
Always prioritize the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual.
