    Just an additional tip, first remove the fill, then the drain - I found these plugs very tight, and you don't want drain and then have difficulty pulling the fill plug - yes, there's been reports of that.

    2012 Ford Focus I know Sync3 is probably the same, but wouldn't it be best to ask on a Ford Focus forum vs this Edge forum? https://www.allfordfocus.com/ https://www.fordforumsonline.com/forums/ford-focus.15/

    If the first picture is "after" then you sure nailed it without going too dark - looks good.

    I've seen them for the G2 Edge but nothing for the G1, and Google comes up with nothing.

    Same part number of the set I bought except the suffix is AA vs mine are BA Any chance of someone with a steady hand taking a photo showing how the form follows the contour of the trim? FT4Z-16A550-AA https://www.amazon.com/Ford-Genuine-FT4Z-16A550-AA-Splash-Guard/dp/B010X49B1Q

    Some folks, especially those paying a service shop, consider it cost effective to change the coils at the 100K mile with the spark plug change, due to the high labor cost to get to the rear three. Seeing as the labor cost doesn't impact me, I do not plan on changing the coils until they show signs of failure.

    What Engine?

    I pulled a plug to check how they were doing at 50K miles and confirmed that they'll make the 100K miles with ease. When I get to 100K miles all I'll be changing is the plugs, not coils, and considering the new NGK 95605 Ruthenium HX No experience with TSP products, sorry. Why do you plan on replacing the coils? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2011,edge,3.5l+v6,1446671,ignition,ignition+coil,7060

    I think you'll need to turn on the flash and take another photo.

    How dark did you go with it? I've seen a good few in my town that are stupid dark and present a safety hazard - it's illegal in my state, but so is texting and driving, and neither is policed.

    LOL at that "jockstrap" on stage.

    I still listen to the same music I did when in high school, Classic Rock.

    I've always had my A/C in Auto mode and close to three years old I got it for the first time - it came and went for about ten days and haven't seen it since.

    Hello

    Welcome and congrats. Looks like a few of us here have similar tastes. 17 Sport 08 H-D Nightrain 15 Mustang V6

    As far as I know the only method available is Foscan.

    Might be best to encourage folks to put it in their signature line if it keeps disappearing from below the avatar. Edit: I's still showing in mine.

    I added that to show a friend that I got "paid up front", .......by myself. LOL Damn good beer. The rotor laying on the floor is the 8 month old 9K mile Power Stop that started making a growling noise and slight vibration at low speeds - they promptly sent a complete new kit, but will go with solid rotors next time.

    I think I did the transmission drain with it on ramps. Just this past weekend I had it up on stands to rotate tires and replace the front brakes - the position of the floor jack lifts it level.

    Yeah, it should be be able to go 78K miles on the original fill, but most here that do their own maintenance change it around half that mileage. I'm keen to see photos of yours to see if it destroyed itself or possible an external impact - there's a few reports of them grenading.
  20. 1004ron
    Thanks for the update - I'll stick with the drain plug.
  21. 1004ron
    If you believed Ford's claim that the PTU was "lubricated for Life", and have 78K miles on it, then not too unexpected.

    Congrats and welcome - I like that colour. The firmness of the suspension is subjective, but I don't feel mine is too firm, and expect the 2015 and 2017 would be the same.

    I do as well, and I find the dashboard pressure indication to be accurate and check it at least once a week and if it drops one or two psi, I top it up with my home compressor using an inflater with an accurate gauge.

    Keen to hear if you get more out using the oil extractor through the dipstick vs the drain plug. Most folks use a lot more than 5 quarts to change over a higher percentage of the total volume.

    When last was the cabin air filter changed, and do you continuously use recirc?
