My 2004 Convertible had to sit for 3 years. It was garaged with temperature never going below 40 degrees. Before I tried to start it up, I changed the oil, put a new battery in it and put 10 gallons of Chevron 91 octane gas in the tank. (tank had about 3 gallons of 3 years old gas in it) I also added a gas additive/cleaner in the 10 gallons along with some Techron and she started right up.
I added 7 oz's of Seafoam to the crankcase and drove the car without any problems 200 miles. My plan is to change the oil in another 100 miles or so and change the oil again.
My question is the fuel filter. Should I change it out or should I be ok since its running well? If so, how is this done? My understanding is it is in the fuel tank.
