The green paint marks are a factory quality check indication to the inspector that the plugs have been tightened/torqued - no way they can be used to tell if the plugs were removed - the orange color is a thread sealant. The salesman is talking BS about the tires putting the PTU at risk, seeing at the Rear Drive Unit uses a clutch to engage it, and he's also bullshitting about running the oil in the PTU to 100K miles. I changed my PTU oil to a good quality synthetic at 5K miles and will do so every 20-30K miles.

If an impact wrench is used, a Torque Stick will not protect these lug nuts.

Collected lug nuts from dealership today - took three weeks - service manager said Ford are having trouble meeting demand.

My black 2017 Sport is the same after weekly car washes. I tried the contactless car washes, but the type of dirt on my car isn't removed by these, whereas it does work with my wife's car, so worth trying them. A good wax helps to some degree, but didn't seem to do much for mine. I would not use compound, unless you plan on following up with a polishing paste.

Yesterday when shopping for a cabin filter for my wife's S550 Mustang, I checked these out in Walmart, and they're really well made, and on special for $14. FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter, CF11775

Seeing as I only used the radio for my work commute I don't believe it cost effective to extend it past the initial free 6 months - I only listen to classic rock, and have two good radio stations in my area for that. Be careful when declining the Sirius service - the associate almost cancelled my free 5 year traffic as well.

If that's the case, the PTU has most likely suffered as a result, ......... but hard to predict how badly, or what life is left in it.

I changed my cabin filter today, and went with the activated carbon ATP FA-21, but might stick with OEM seeing as it has almost twice the number of pleats which means larger filter medium area. Last changed one year ago and would be good for a good few more months. OEM on the right.

When I recently bought my wife's 2015 Mustang from a private individual, CarFax did not show all the oil changes, so I waited for the seller to get copies of the service record from Bill Collins Ford, and only after confirmation that its service record was good did I make my decision to purchase - with all the electronic records etc. these days it reduces the risk buying used. Below is my Sport's records showing my DIY and the Dealership services.

Yours sounds like a fluid change will do a whole lot of good, compared to some who hope it would "repair" the transmission.

As Omar states, the tire warranty is with the tire manufacturer, and they'd cover it if there's no sign of impact damage etc. Contact Pirelli https://www.pirelli.com/tires/en-us/car-light-truck/contact-us

The whole story sounds more like BS, with zero links to any article, TSB or recall on Ford Edge's.

When I left work this afternoon the NAV screen froze and the voice commands also stopped working. Hit the NAV icon at the bottom of the screen and it did not respond and switch from the home screen to NAV. I stopped twice on the way home and turned off the vehicle and started again and each time it did the same, then about two hours after arriving home I tried it again and everything is working normal. Before I left work I got word that there was an accident on the interstate, so wanted to use to NAV to reroute me, ...... Is this a sign of imminent system problems?

Anyone using the UPR drain plug? I won't be getting one at $50 seeing as I've not had any issues with mine. OEM is $5 - https://www.amazon.com/Ford-Plug-Drain-Number-FT4Z6730A/dp/B01JAU88JK/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Ford|54&Model=Edge|5858&Year=2017|2017&ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive https://roninfactory.com/products/ford-f150-raptor-oil-drain-ronin-factory https://www.lethalperformance.com/upr-products-billet-drain-plug-with-magnetic-tip-3025-01.html

My 2017 has very old maps, and when I check https://ford.navigation.com/product-list/Catalog/Catalog_Ford_Edge_2017/en_US/FordNA/USD I get the below message, so wonder how they could be advertising the 2019 maps. Thank you for your interest in a navigation update for your SYNC 3 system. This Product Is Currently Unavailable.

The fact that those pics aren't of a Ford Edge Sport, I'd do an inspection before attempting any cleaning procedure, which carries risks. I added the JLT at around 25K mi, and not going to bother with any inspection or cleaning, ......... when the spark plugs are due for changing, and the inlet manifold is removed for that, I'll inspect the intakes.

Just bought Steeda Jacking Rails for my wife's Mustang, and was wondering if anyone has found rails for the Edge. https://www.steeda.com/Steeda-S550-Mustang-Full-Length-Ultra-Lite-and-Low-Profile-Chassis-Jacking-Rails-2015-2019-Coupe_p_15941.html

Not sure if that's a typo regarding the use of impacts. Service manager has order a new set of lugs. I had to buy a new set of lugs for my wife's 2015 Mustang as we're the second owners and its well past warranty at 50K mi.

I take all oils to AutoZone. I plan on doing the dump and fill method at around 60K mi. On the Sport 2.7L Its damn awkward to get to the fill/level cap - most likely have to run it with the air intake hoses removed.

Up until now the only place that has removed my wheels, is my Ford dealership doing tire rotations during "The Works" oil change services. Today when I rotated wheels at home I found signs that the two-piece lug nuts were damaged by the use of an impact wrench, and the 21mm 6-point socket would not go on three of the lug nuts. In addition almost every lug nut recess on my wheels has been chipped badly, obviously also due to the use of a high speed air impact tool. I've heard of Ford recalling some of these two-piece lug nuts, and the warning not to use impact wrenches, ........... so WTF does my Ford Dealership do it? If I'd have needed to use my emergency spare wheel somewhere on the open road, and it was one of the three wheels with bad lug nuts, I'd be stranded because the emergency lug wrench cannot be used on these.

Old thread, but posting in case it helps others that search for the same question. Use a deep 21mm socket and don't use an air wrench of any kind of impact wrench as it will destroy the two-part lug nuts. https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Tools-21093-Non-Marring-Socket/dp/B008XMDSJC

My seats cool or heat when remote started, dependant on the ambient, it's very convenient. My steering will also heat when ambient is low, and remote started.

Do a search here for PTU and you should find loads of useful info.

That's how mine works, but I guess it would remain high if the temperature set point was unachievable.

New OEM decal installed. The one from https://autodatalabels.com/ is crap. The Ford one far better, superior adhesive and dimensionally correct for just $3.50 - now please that they wouldn't sell to me, and surprised that a Ford Collision centre would buy third party crap. The larger one is OEM
