1996 Buick Century Question: why do you allow more labor to replace a air filter than a fuel filter ?
larry j johnson, 3.1L V6, Fairbury, IL, July 02, 2011, 08:35

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, July 02, 2011, 10:36Master
There may be a mistake thank you for pointing this out. The air filter takes 10 minutes to replace fuel filter is about $20 and takes 20 minutes to replace.
