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.

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 have re-read your post and noticed that the VIN you posted for the vehicle if the new CCM is actually a Lincoln MKC, not MKX. The MKC is totally different, maybe the CCM is not compatible regardless of loaded software and calibration.

Generally I would agree with you, but I have not seen Ford develope a "specific" oil for no reason. Usually their oils have some spec and the manual would state you should use an oil that meets their minimum spec, for the "disconnect" PTU and RDU used on 2019+ Edges, I don't recall reading the same. In the link for for redline MT-LV specs you posted, it is clearly stated: MT-LV, MTL, MT-85 & MT-90 are not for use in differentials with hypoid gears Additionally, the OEM compatibility does not include Ford's disconnect oil.

The Motorcraft oil is specifically made(formulated) for the Ford "Disconnect Rear Drive Unit". Hence assume it is not a general gear oil like other makes. The Motorcraft specs (link) states: Motorcraft® SAE 75W Disconnect Rear Drive Unit Fluid is specifically formulated for Ford disconnect rear drive units with a low offset hypoid gear Developed with a lower viscosity to improve axle efficiency and fuel economy Motorcraft® SAE 75W Disconnect Rear Drive Unit Fluid is formulated with synthetic base stocks, friction modifiers, antiwear and extreme pressure additives to provide gear protection and smooth clutch operation Use only in Ford Disconnect Rear Drive Units DO NOT use in conventional high-offset hypoid gear axles where SAE 75W-85, 75W-90, 80W-90 or 75W-140 is recommended

The attached photos is what I meant. Though these are from ForScan lite (Android), the desktop version would also have the same service process.

The design change was actually from 2015. Unlike the 2007-2014 models, you can't access it from inside. The drain hole is in the middle and very difficult to reach to.

As per the satisfaction notice attached in the first post, 2 days rental is covered. If parts are not available, the dealer should contact Ford for approval. RENTAL VEHICLES • PASS INSPECTION: Vehicles that pass the inspection (flexplate is not cracked) are NOT affected and are not approved for rental vehicles. Refer to the 22N12 technical instructions for additional information. • FAIL INSPECTION, Parts are available: Vehicles that fail the inspection (flexplate is cracked) are pre-approved for up to two days for a comparable rental vehicle. Follow Extended Service Plan (ESP) guidelines for dollar amounts. Rentals will only be reimbursed for the day(s) the vehicle is at the dealership for part replacement. Prior approval for more than two rental day(s) is required from the SSSC via the SSSC Web Contact Site. o If Parts are NOT available, contact SSSC for consideration and approval: ✓ Flexplate, transmission fluid pump, or torque converter is on back-order. - An aftermarket torque converter may be purchased if the Ford part number is on back-order. ✓ PARTS ESCALATION PROCESS (Vehicle Off Road) process has been followed and COPIS ticket with VOR flagged has been submitted. ✓ Prior approval is required from the SSSC, submit contact type long-term rental for consideration and approval if appropriate. • A ten-digit prior-approval code is required from the SSSC for rental vehicles, a new approval code is required from SSSC every 30 days. • If rental vehicles are needed beyond March 31, 2023, dealers will have to contact SSSC for an extension. • Follow Extended Service Plan (ESP) guidelines for dollar amounts. Prior approval is required from the SSSC.

I meant using ForScan, there is should be a service menu function that lets you enter into calibration mode and then it tells you drive for a while on the highway with other vehicles on the road. I believe once the calibration mode/service is activated, you would get a pop-up in the instrument cluster that it has started.

Should be the same as all 2015+ models regardless of engine option or model.

I assume you did put it into calibration mode, correct? If not, there is a service menu option to get the CCM into calibration mode. If it still doesn't calibrate then it might require alignment.

There won't be any issues ashe brakes are similar.

Turning it off is simply done by turning off the wipers using the wiper stalk. When the wiper stalk is in the off position, the auto function is also off. Auto only works when the stalk is in the "intermittent position", granted the feature is on in the cluster screen settings.

My 2016 Sport learned the new sensors by itself. I have also confirmed before that it also relearns the sensor locations by itself. I still have not figured out how it does it. I had made a video few years back were I moved one wheel from the left rear to left front, it was overinflated. You can see in the video how the readings change.

In the instrument cluster your can see the individual tire pressures. See which one is not reading and it probably would be the 1st one needing replacement. As @1004ron stated, they are probably at the end of their life and their batteries will eventually discharge requiring the sensor replacement.
