Default gs 300 fuel filter

i have a gs300 with 102k on the clock when would you recomend changing the fuel filter? (ive never changed it) also does any one have a parts list to change it or is it just the filter?
thanks

it's a life-time fuel filter, which means u dont have to change it. it's under the back seats if u really want to change them

I highly suggest not changing this filter. I did and damaged an o-ring that Lexus doesnt seem to sell.

did u see the size of the fuel filter? it's big enough to take on most of the tiny dirt from the gas. i guess lexus doesnt expect the car to go over 500k miles rite?

I wanted to change my fuel filter also, but i heard it can damage the oring and possible leak after. So recommend not to.
