fuel filter

I changed the fuel filter on my 06 GT today, after I got done I noticed what sounds like air going out of a tire from that area it seems louder when it's in drive. Is it because there is more fuel going through since it is new or could there be a little bit of air in the line? I haven't noticed that sound before I change the filter. I didn't unhook the battery when I did it so do the computer need to relearn anything? I've driven it around some and it runs fine and doesn't leak anywhere. Sorry for all the questions but I just want to know that everything is all right.

That's a new one for me, I've never heard of a car making that kind of noise after changing the fuel filter.

Well I started my car this morning and drove it around I didn't hear the sound anymore. I'm thinking that it had maybe a little air in the line and it worked its way out. It's been really hot and humid here so I don't know if that affected it some, but anyway its back to normal.

Thanks.

How often does this need to be changed?

Every 30K. Maintenance Schedule attached. That's interesting that it doesn't need much with coolant at 100K, air filter and fuel filter at 30K. Most everything at 150K.

you need a fuel line disconnect tool, which can be had at any parts store
