The owners manual for the Ford Edge states to use oils that that meets the defined specification and viscosity grade. They do "recommend" Motorcraft, but does not state to only use Motorcraft. Link to the 2024 Edge manual. Not all gears are engineered or made the same, hence the different oil types and viscosities. Well said. -

I think you are missing something here in this explanation. You have to remember that we are talking about the RDU gear oil and NOT the Viscous Coupler oil. These are two (2) different things, two (2) separate units that work independently of each other but, in unison, complete the transfer of power to the rear wheels. Every manufacturer states only use their brand fluid ( you pick which type of fluid ) in their vehicles. Ford is no different. That does not mean you HAVE to and it does not mean that using an appropriate alternate fluid is bad for the vehicle nor will it void warranty. You just have to meet the minimum spec of the original manufacturer specs but exceeding them is even better. Remember that the RDU itself is just gears and bearings. There are no clutches involved. The clutches are in the Viscous Coupler and you can not change that fluid as it is a sealed unit. In my opinion, after doing my own searches for alternates, and speaking directly to a Redline Tech concerning the differences between what is stated by Ford Manufacturing and what Redline states on their website for the Redline MT-LV 70W/75W gear oil, I am convinced one is equally compatible with the other. That's my opinion and Redline's opinion. If in doubt about a product, I go directly to the source and don't rely simply what I read on a label or a website. You don't have to take my advice. You, and anyone else that does not agree, or has doubts, should just use whatever Ford recommends. -

It is literally this simple: how to perform a software update on a 2020 Ford Edge If it still says you are up-to-date after following the procedure as stated, then it is. I just didn't trust what the system was telling me and I was right. It may be different for you. -

10:4. I used to be on Ford Truck Enthusiast and there was extensive talk between several members (several were in high end car stereo biz) about upgrading stereos, adding amps, etc to factory systems with DSPs. I thought the same may exist here... I realize there could be real implications changing out speakers. Google wasn't much help other than to overview the issue and warn that a higher impedence speaker could overheat the factory system... -

With enough money anything is possible. What you need is someone who knows their aftermarket sound really well in order to get the results you want. I haven't seen much discussion about that topic on this forum but will admit I haven't looked for it either. For me, the B&O system is pretty acceptable for an OE application and I decided it was enough for me. At least it isn't a sh*tty BOSE setup like so many GM vehicles have been using for years. I hated those things in every GM product I drove.

I'm curious why? There's gotta be a way to put nicer stuff in.... -
Sorry, but I couldn't find on the Redline website where it states their oil MT-LV 70W/75W is compatible with the Motorcraft XY-75W-QL. It states it is compatible with Ford's XT-11-QDC (WSS-M2C200-D2) which is Ford's dual clutch fluid (link). Checking the recommended fluids based on car make/model does bring up the MT-LV 70W/75W as a recommendation for the rear differential, but if you enter a 2019 Edge it would bring up 75W90 GL-5 GEAR OIL, so their recommendation page is flawed.

I really appreciate your help. How do I do a proper update if my display says I have current updates?

If it was me, and it told me it was up to date, but I was getting the sound from what I thought was the RDU, and my research shows TSBs for the issue, and the dealership refuses to perform the TSB updates, and actually doesn't care if I had needed TSBs updated or not, I would do what I did, which was perform a proper update. But, that's me. Knowing I have some type of issue, and knowing that to ensure I had all the proper software updates I should do an update, I would do the update. I wouldn't care if the system told me the system was up to date.
