I usually change the oil around 50% oil life. With Direct Injection, your oil gets diluted with fuel. A catch can will help by catching blow by, but there's not really much you can do to prevent oil dilution. If someone wanted to do research like Macbwt & have their oil tested at certain hours, that would be awesome. Changing your oil early, doesn't really have any bad effects, except your on your wallet. I'm currently slightly over 5,000 since i last changed the oil, but we're getting ready to take another trip, so I'll be changing it out in the next week or so before the trip. My Oil Life Monitor is currently around 62%. Our little road trip helped extend the life than the 'normal' conditions we drive

Rotors arrived today, unfortunately, they're too big, even though it says for 18 inch wheels. I quickly ordered Centric 12561118 rotors, they were slightly cheaper than the other ones. Called a few friends & they said that it shouldn't be an issue to use the new pads on the old, factory rotors. I'm obviously going swap them out whenever the replacement rotors get here & re preform the pad bedding procedure. I will advise that the 16 Edge's (non sport) use an 11mm / 7/16 Hex head to get the calipers off. I also found that to get the little metal retainer out is to push in on the little indent & push it towards the top of the caliper & it should pop right off. I know this is a highly active topic, so I'll keep this post updated, lol

To my Knowledge, AEM doesn't make one for the 2015+ yet. I've been looking. I don't know if the air box is different on the older 2.0's

SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information

Same here, been trying for weeks & still no luck on confirming the update. Just checked Ford Owners Website & it must have confirmed it on the wifi: -
Welp, ordered the Powerstop Z231818 pads & Centric Rotors. Pads arrived today, they look to be the correct ones. Waiting for the Rotors to arrive. They should be here Friday. The fronts don't appear to have those stupid rotor retainer screws in them,so here's to a clean install Friday night

Sheesh, both can be changed in your edge in under 10-15 minutes. That mark up is crazy

Might be. It's been a few months since i replaced mine & can't remember exactly

Search this thread. The tips & tricks are in this thread somewhere. Automotive trim panel tools can be had for under $20 on Amazon. You'd be surprised at all of their other uses. -
Pic might be helpful. I replaced mine a few months ago & it had like a 'felt' side that acted like a 'pre' filter before getting to the filter.

The Cquartz Dlux stuff seems to help with cleaning, if the wheels can be hit with a power washer, but the parts not hit with the power washer, need to be cleaned. Better, but not ideal. Seeing how Centric now makes rotors now, I'll probably swap them out as well. I think that I'm going with Centric Rotors (12561118) for the fronts & Powerstop pads (Z231818) for the fronts as well. Thoughts? Centric also makes a pad (10516650). Any have any experience with them? Looking for the same, if not better, than OEM EDIT: 12561118 Is the correct part # for a non Sport Edge. 12561120 'appears' to be for a Edge Sport(Didn't know anybody around to confirm). IF YOU ARE NOT A SPORT, ORDER CENTRIC PART# 12561118

Interested in what you found for a 2016 non sport. I can't find pads or rotors anywhere. I've mainly stuck with brands I'm familiar with like powerstop, centric, hawk, etc. EDIT: Just re looked up everything again & they appear to be making rotors for the '16 non sports now. Couldn't find anything a few months ago

I can confirm that this procedure works with Ford OEM trigger tool, 8c2z 1a203-a (TPMS19). I'll have to wait for winter to come to try this on the winter wheels.

Mileage on the way back was better. Last picture is right after i filled up, but didn't reset the trip odometer. Calculated was 28.4

SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information
lildisco replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Just did some short errands today, (wife shopping). Getting ready for the return trip home tomorrow. Don't know if these will help. It seems to have kept the phone charged when at 100% and possibly charged it 1-2 % during 10-20 minute drives. Both USB ports did work for Android Auto as well. Possibly i haven't given it enough time to charge as most of my trips have been under 30 minutes since 2.2 has been installed. Here's some screen shots -

Screen goes black & Says Android Auto in white letters. Assuming that you're interested in this. Using the OEM home charger that came with the phone: -

That is an option, so we'll see how our return trip works. I'll use AA this time instead of Waze & see what happens. -

Already confirmed with an identical phone as mine & no turbo charge comes up. Also confirmed with another 'turbo charge' capable phone, same result. -

I never said 1 port charges & the other doesn't. They both charge, just not the 'turbo charge'. I've seen several phones/chargers throughout the years not be able to keep up with maps using the GPS,(S4, S5, Droid Turbo just to name a few). Only phones/chargers that can keep up are 'turbo charge' capable. Highly doubt it's my phone as it's fine when using a charger with 'turbo charge' The hub is OEM & hasn't been touched as i have android phones & no need to update/swap. My original question was if i upgraded the hub, if it was 'turbo charge' capable. Maybe I'm confusing the install with using AA. Somewhere i read that you could only use the lower port, maybe that was just for installing. I haven't confirmed if the upper port works with AA or not. I will pay more attention to the charging aspect over the next few days as we're on a trip & have noticed these things while on short trips. Prior to AA, using my GPS, with say the Waze app, i would gradually loose a charge if i continued to use it while plugged into the OEM hub. Now, if i use a 3rd party 'turbo charge' charger, i have no issues & will charge the phone to full while using Waze & my GPS,if my phone isn't already at 100%. -

I think you're mis-understanding what i said. The phone recognizes that it's charging on the port, but not the 'turbo charging'. When using the GPS, the phone uses more power than what is being given to it, hence not 'turbo charging'. It will charge the phone, but at a very slow rate & if i start using the phone, it can't keep up & slowly looses a charge. Granted, it's a slower discharge than not plugging it in, but still won't fully power the phone. The only function that I've seen able to withstand the load is a 'turbo charge' which this hub doesn't do. I understand that there really isn't a standard, but the only solution I've found was to buy a 3rd party car charger,but if i use that, i lose Android Auto, which kinda defeats the purpose. It's a minor concern, as we don't travel much, but might be more a concern for other people who would use this all the time -

Welp, smart charging is busted, i get no turbo charge notification & my phone gradually looses a charge when plugged in. AA only works on the lower port & i get no difference in charging between the two -

My phone, as well as most newer phones, have 'turbo charging' capabilities. Does the upgraded usb allow that? Using gps for Android Auto really sucks up my battery -

Has anyone else found that responding to text messages are way easier with Android Auto than with Sync? Sync seems way clunkier & has limited responses.
