The first real indicator is that you start losing power. Most recommend you change your fuel filter every 15,000 miles. Some later vehicles have a fuel filter that cannot be serviced because it is inside the tank but most still use an external filter.
No manufacture recommends a 15,000 fuel filter change. No way should you waste your money changing a fuel filter every 15,000 miles unless the engine is a diesel. Change it every 36,000 miles if it is a replaceable filter and you will be just fine.
