Yes I change the fuel filter every year only due 10k per year and I also clean and oil the air filter once a year. This has all happened since the new fuel. Do you recomend a good addative

Sometimes you may require more frequent changes of the fuel filter if it's really cold out and it starts to plug a little.

I use Howes winter additive. It works wonders. I use that and 2-stroke TCW-3 oil for lubricity in the fuel system. It's also rated to flow down to -40C. Those two combined with the winterfront I have now have provided me with a trouble-free winter so far this year, and I've driven hard down to -30C. Just a winterfront alone can make a huge difference.
