Sometimes more than not it can be a challenge to locate a specific thread on this forum. Even if you go to a specific sub forum, if you don't have the wording exact, you may not be able to find the thread. One thing you can do is google a specific issue or subject related to the Ford Edge and it will direct you to a thread/post within this Ford Edge Forum.

Great information todd92. The 2019-2024 Edge uses 75w85 GL5 as it is a totally different PTU than older models.

AWD and 4WD are very different. I don't think whatever you are trying to do is even worth trying. If you want 4WD, buy a vehicle with 4WD. What Edge and what year do you have. For example, the Edge ST has an AWD Sport Mode (double tap the ESC button) that makes the AWD system much more active and aggressive. What model/year do you have?

After having a few serious issues with my 2021 ST, I decided too purchased an extended warranty. 8 Year/60K, I only drive about 5K a year. I called ford corporate to verify the warranty and kept a copy of the transcript. I have heard too many stories of people having issues right out of warranty, it gave me piece of mind, and I am glad I did it. I hope I never have to use it; I hope my dealer goes to bat for me if I ever do. So sad to see dealers take advantage of their own customers.

A lot of changes from the Ford Edge Sport to the ST. They stiffened the front springs by 10%, the rear springs by 20%. They went from a twin tube to a monotube shock. Not sure of the brand, but a big performance boost! Does anyone know what brand they use on a stock ST?

I love the P Zeros on my Edge. I live in warmer weather so cold is not much of an issue. I plan on going with Scorpion Zeros when I have to replace them.

Spectre, could you please provide more pictures. Would love to replace my 265 P Zeros with 295 when the time comes.

I don't think you can go wrong with Valvoline. Seems like you are making a good choice. With regards to the change from 75w140 to 75w85 for the PTU- It could be just like the motor oil, for better fuel economy. And better flow for improved cooling and performance.

I went on the Amsoil website and found the 75w85 for the PTU, but did not find the 75w specifically to the RDU. Does Amsoil have a compatible RDU fluid? Redline offers a full synthetic 75w for the RDU.

Davidoo, thank you for locating that thread. I actually made a couple of post and ended up putting one of those felt pads underneath the clip. fishx65 suggested it in a post and I did the same thing. I will keep everyone posted. I noticed in your last post on that thread you stated that the noise had come back on your 22 ST and it wasn't the bar? Do you have any updates on your situation regarding this? Thanks

I'm not sure when this all started but my 2021 edge ST had a liquid cooled PTU. I also saw a thread where some PTU's had an electric fan attached to the PTU. Have you climbed under and inspected your PTU? I guessing your year is before they started addressing the PTU heat issues, but maybe worth a check. I think the best defense with Ford's PTU is a fluid change every 20-30K.

Not to get off track (no pun intended) but I have a 2024 ST with about 9000 miles. About 2 months ago I noticed a metallic popping/tapping/snapping sound coming from the right rear corner of the moonroof area. Right side rear corner. Doesn't matter if the shade or the moonroof is open or closed. It happens on bumpy roads and it is not there when it is cold out. It seems as the sun warms the top of the car, this noise becomes more noticeable. Thanks for any suggestions. And yes, turning the stereo up is a solution!

If you have the liquid cooled ptu you can remove the nuts and pry the cooler way from the ptu about 1/2 inch and drain the fluid. If you have the non-cooled ptu you could remove the cap where the cooler would be.

I agree. When it comes to parts you can't go wrong with OEM. It's a no brainer. But when it comes to lubricants, in many cases there are better options. And there are some good ones: Amsoil, Red Line and Motul are by far the best. The key is Full Synthetic. I plan on going with Red Line for my PTU/RDU. Any suggestions from you guys on the transmission fluid? That's the one I haven't done any research on.

My 2024 has the cooler as well. There was a previous thread where someone pulled the cooler out just enough to let the fluid drain out and put it back in using the same studs and o ring. One disadvantage to the cooler: it takes up more space in the ptu, reducing fluid capacity. Not sure how beneficial circulation 200 degree (plus) through the cooler could do much to help.
