I don't disagree with the 100,000 mile target, but it is very arbitrary. Use dirty fuel, and you can require a filter after one tank. Use consistently clean fuel, and you can go 346,000 miles or more.
While we can target 100,000 miles just because that number is as good as any other, if an owner notices symptoms of fuel starvation then changing the filter is a cheap first step.
