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

Took a look under rear end, and as can be seen in the photo of the RDU, I'll most certainly not be pulling the rear cover, but good to hear that 'suck & fill' works well. One more question, what oil is recommended by the forum members - the owners manual doesn't specify synthetic, so would syn be better or could it cause problems? I was thinking of using this oil: Royal Purple 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil 01300

You're right, that is a striking resemblance.

Is the RDU oil change straight forward - I guess you need to use an oil extractor, or do folks pull the rear cover and replace the gasket?

I've never driven an Edge with a 2.0L ecoboost engine, but it just sounds too small for this size vehicle. $36K for a 3.5L would be a good price if it's brand new. I'm sure you're only looking for comments on pricing of new 2017 models, is that correct?

The price at my local dealership is $36,214 http://www.tricountyford.com/new/Ford/2017-Ford-Edge-6dd310a80a0e0ae8284806094ae8e80b.htm What engine?

Is it new or used?

My new job gave me the iPhone 7 and my iPhone 6s went to my wife. I've used the 6s and currently the 7 without issues in my 2017 Sport.

I also have the HID's and they are used for high and low beam, and I have the selection for DRL's on or off in the menu, but just cannot get those inboard lamps to come on. Inside may garage the lights come on in auto, so I took it out into the sunlight and they went off, but no DRL inboard lights switch on. My turn indicators stay on and change brightness when indicating - could this be the DRL's on my model? What am I missing here? I'd also like to get the LED's, but first need to see these inboard lamps turn on. Edit: Thanks to @15FireSport I got my DRL's to turn on - not sure why I couldn't get them to work yesterday, but it was a simple as having it in daylight and gear selected to Drive.

I only disconnect the coils when I store my vehicle because I don't run it for months, and that way when I first crank it , it doesn't fire up allowing it to first build oil pressure and deliver it to all locations before I actually allow it to fire up. Marine Stabil should be fine - I use this one: https://www.goldeagle.com/product/sta-bil-fuel-stabilizer/ https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/top-five-sta-bil-product-myths-debunked/ Get a battery tender that has the capacity to power the alarm if you have one, while also maintaining the battery - if not near a power source the solar tenders work well. Occasional drives need to be at least 30-minutes in order to evaporate any moisture on the engine and exhaust.

Use a car cover Pump tires 5 to 10 psi higher than normal Full tank of gas with Stabil Oily rag in exhaust tail pipes and air intake Connect battery tender Disconnect ignition coils (when you intend starting it, crank it over for a while until the oil pressure light goes off, then connect coils and let it start) It would be better not to drive it occasionally if the drive wasn't long enough to fully heat up everything.

Can't find and tire shops in my area that have the AZ850, and none that I know of that will fit tires you bring in. Edit: Ken Towery's will fit and balance them for $90 , plus $90 for wheel alignment. BTW, the KT person I spoke to tried to talk me out of trying the Atturo tires - said the ride would be vastly different, ........ sounded like sales talk more than anything else.

Roots, based on your review I'd like to try those tires, but can't find them listed with any of my local tire fitment places. Where did you buy yours? I was thinking of buying them online and having a tire fitment shop install and balance them, but many of these places wont do that if you didn't buy the tires from them.

PTU oil on special. $15.11 per quart with discount code "SAVE15" and free shipping on order $50 and above. Royal Purple 75W-140 Synthetic Gear Oil 01301

This is the Mercon LV deal https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X4AXGCC/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry if this has been posted, but all I could find in this section was PTU threads, lots of them. Where's the Trans oil dip stick and top-up cap on the 2017 Sport ? My handbook shows to move the air filter intake to the side to access it, but I don't see it on mine. I'm looking at taking advantage of a good deal running on a pack of 12 quarts Motocraft Mercon LV, and will exchange the trans oil with this when I reach 50 or 60K miles. Edit: I found it, tucked away under the coolant hose. It would be best to remove the complete air filter box to access it.

Where was that mentioned, any links? My 2017 seats heat and cool great.

Today I did another lube service at 15K miles - the 10K mile service was done by Ford - I plan to have Ford do alternate services. The Royal purple that came out the PTU still looks good and the magnetic drain plug was clean after 10K miles. It doesn't take much to do the PTU lube service so I'll stick to a 10 ~ 15K mile interval. Also pleased to report that the engine is now 100% dry - no more oil leaks since the solenoid was replaced by Ford.

He is taking the word of one of his clients, its not a trial that he conducted himself under controlled conditions. If this was really plausible, the tire manufacturers would have got onto it as well - you could counter that argument with a comment that they want to sell more tires, but on the other hand they would outsell their competitors if they advertised that kind of mileage with good performance. It's like all the gimmicks that claim to save 10 to 20% on fuel consumption - the competition between manufacturers is tight and some have even paid penalties for overstating their efficiency figures, so they'd have been all over those gimmicks if they were for real .

I've read that the Middle East versions do in fact have a drain plug on the PTU, so best you crawl under and take a look.

I'm not buying the extended mileage on the tires - if that was possible, it would be at a major sacrifice of grip, particularly in the wet.

Mobil-1 5W30 every 5K miles which is overkill seeing as my driving is light, Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor triggers around 10K and the oil is good for 15-20K miles.

I'm pretty sure it was, because it took only a couple of days with it turned off for the smell to go. I did a search on why it auto kicks off recirc mode, and a few sites cited the damp smell as the reason. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12114-stop-the-recirculate-control-from-automatically-shutting-off/
