    i think there is procedure for this in the manual. you do not need to replace the filter right away.
    the manual said; The amount of accumulated water in the fuel filter has reached the specific level if the light flashes, the water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if the fuel system warning light flashes and buzzer sounds.
    but never i've seen it flashes nor buzzed.
    it stays ON instead which the manual states; The fuel filter need to be replaced if the light comes on.

    and yes, there's a procedure in the manual how to drain the filter. i will try to drain it then.
    thank you, sir.

    Fuel filter cost only about 600-800pesos? Labor 200? Mga 1 week ka muna wag mag starbucks or wag kuna mag pa spa.. LOL. Just kidding.

    SCV cost around 13k.
    Injector is 10k each.
    HP pump???

    BTT: Bakit ka magtitipid if alam mong compromised na fuel system mo with water? Isa pa, its already at 18T kms + countless idle times pa so sulit na rin yan sir...

    Im surprised sa reaction ng iba, nagkakabit ng OCC, EGR blanking, 2T additives and other fuel additives na di sure kungbepektive pero ung basic na fuel filter change tinitipid?

    One more thing, I would stay away sa gas station na pinagkakargahan mo and also will drain the fuel tank if I were you... So mga 1month na wala muna starbucks.. Hehe..

    I am not even sure if what they did to your car is related to the check engine light.

    Injector cleaning at 18,000 kms???

    IMO, it's not needed. But if you have extra time and money, why not... But, at the end of the day. You are just spending too much for your cars maintenance/operating cost.

    Haven't put any injector cleaner or purging since day 1 from 12years of owning it.

    Extra rice is sometimes good.
