I am getting some light engine vibrations at cold starts, its about time for me to change the fuel filter but I was wondering if I should be looking at something else. I've read recently about clogged oil systems, could my oil system be giving me this problem???? Car runs fine after it warm up, use Mobil1 synthetic and premium gas!!!!125K on the ticker!!!!!!

Could be the fuel filter, but it could also be a few other things:

1. Fuel pump starting to go?
2. Fuel injectors clogged?
3. Spark plugs?
4. Air Filter?
5. Distributor Cap/Rotor button?

As you can see the list can be longer, but I would check the obvous stuff first. If you know the filter needs changed, go ahead and change (should be done ever 10k) Check the plugs, Air Filter and Distrubutor cap/Rotor button. This will eliminate the basics....
