I bought my 2017 Sport in March and was also a little concerned with the seats, but they're holding up good. I use Lexol leather conditioner on the smooth leather sections to keep them supple, and just wipe the faux suede with a damp cloth.

Here's an interesting article on using premium (doesn't mean top tier gas) Turns out 'recommended' Premium gas doesn't do much Enough for me to stick with top tier premium - Costco is convenient for me, so I almost exclusively use their fuel, which is typically 20 to 30 cents cheaper.

Good luck finding the parasitic drain, because it takes just one deep discharge to ruin a lead acid battery. The place where you bought the Interstate should still give you a free replacement regardless. Costco has the best deal on Interstate batteries these days, lowest price ans longest warranty at 42 months free replacement.

You need new bifocals LOL.

This is from my manual:

My 2017 Sport that I bought in March 2017 had the drivers side airbag and controller replaced at in Aug 2017 - could have had it done earlier, but chose to wait until I took it in for service.

I'm quite happy with my Sports brakes and plan on sticking with the OEM Motorcraft pads, unless others here convince me that there's better alternatives available. I searched my owners handbook but cant find the Motocraft brake pad part numbers - can someone confirm these for me please.

I believe that the Sport 2015+ has the PTU drain plug. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10914-ptu-leak-failures/?p=170489 Take a look at the photos in that post and compare it with yours.

Amazon lists the 28AOE and BOE for the Ford Edge.

I'm also keen to hear what Bosch Icon blades work, although I'm real happy with the OEM ones and will most likely get them off Amazon when the time comes for replacement. https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-WW2755-Wiper-Blade/dp/B01KHL5ZQU Windshield wiper blade WW-2755 (driver side) WW-2760 (passenger side) WW-1413 (rear window)

I like the metal canister if its mounting orientation allows you to remove it without a major mess. I buy OEM service parts from Amazon (Greenway Ford). Motorcraft FL2062 Oil Filter $7.52

Guys, sorry for coming back to you on this, but I'm still not 100% sure on what to get. It appears that the switchback 7443 lights are what we should use, which is a dual light - now for my question, is the Sport really a dual light and is it the 7443 Standard connector? I'll be going with the AO switching option - Amber On - Amber Off - Amber On. Edit: Roots, I found your post where you mentioned the wiring modification to make the switchbacks work - could you give me a little more detail on how you did that? If the original globe is a single filament, how does it switch from low power to high power when the turn signals are on, and how would an LED work?

True in most cases, but not with this engine. If hey forgot to put coolant in the engine, the coolant pump mechanical seal could be damaged. Why would they need to drain the coolant to replace the serpentine belt?

My local dealership uses oil I supply, Mobil-1, when doing "The Works" for $39 and deduct a small amount for the oil that they would have supplied.

Nick, I'm keen to change the front turn signals to LED - please let me know which globes and how to go about turning off the hyper flash in Forscan. I still need to buy a connector/communication device for Forscan.

They'd also be missing the thread title "2017 Ford Edge Sport Gas Mileage", which I believe are all AWD.

I'm now at 16K miles and getting a steady 23 mpg, but on occasions , when I wear my lead boots , it drops off sharply. I'm happy with the performance and consumption. It has such good low down torque that I could do my complete commute without exceeding 2200 rpm - that's where the tacho sits at 80 mph on the highway - for my regular driving the tach doesn't go past 3000 rpm.

@Beezz are you planning to install another catch can?

I think this issue is related to combustion gas passing the rings and pressurizing the crankcase. I don't know if Ford use special low friction rings, but if they do and these result in increased bypass, it would be less fuel efficient.

I'm keen to hear first hand reviews from our members here, vs others on Youtube who drain quarts from their catch cans after a couple of hundred miles. It can only be considered "insurance" if its confirmed to meet the claims.

Makes you question how some of those YouTube posters collect a pint over a few hundred miles.

http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/20911-27eb-oil-catch-can-lms-tune/page-3 post 42 I'm not bothering with it after reading that. Didn't your Google Youtube search come up with existing threads on here?

Any chance you could post a link to where you read that?

Thanks. I'll stick with the GL-5, seeing as the application isn't really very strenuous. I have been using the Shockproof in my Harley transmission for many years. Now to find a pump that fits the smaller opening on the Red Line bottles.

Thanks for all the useful comments. I decided to order 3 quarts of the Redline GL-5 - is that best suited, or the standard non-GL-5 ? Red Line 57904 (75W90) Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 Quart
