Alright so in the manual it says to change the fuel filter every 60k. In the 3gs the filter is "part" of the pump, and the guy at O'Reilly's told me its not replaceable. 1. Should i buy a whole new fuel pump? 2. If not where can i get just the filter.3. whats the difference between the fuel filter and the strainer?

the fuel filter IS part of the pump assembly inside the gas tank and does not need to be replaced. It's a lifetime filter. if you want to change it anyway for peace of mine, you can get one here.

Wow I feel like a dumbass. I just realized this is about the fuel filter and not the oil filter. Ehh not enough sleep for me these days.

Yes, the fuel filter is part of the pump assembly. I had a little problem with my car going lean when It was getting tuned and it ended up being the damn filter, so I had to get one from the dealership.
