Thanks @omar302, I did not know that and I am sure I checked it immediately after adding the quart. I bet it was way too full since I seem to be the only one that has posted about this kind of smoke on cold start for an Edge.

It has been 5 days with no excessive smoke since I have been keeping my catch can emptied. It smoked the first time I started it after I discovered it was full but has not since. I will be more scientific in my monitoring of oil accumulation by mile to see if I can get 500 to a 1000 miles between emptying it. At this point my guess would be 1ml per mile with a mix of aggressive and moderate driving. That seems high to what other posts and @1004ron has been observing. I am fairly convinced it isn't the turbo feeds or crankcase pressure being off. I used the piece of paper test to confirm a light vacuum at the dipstick. I disassembled the intake and there is no oil in the air filter or tubes. I have replaced the PCV and purge valve. The old PCV valve was not constricted. If I hadn't had a new one to compare the sound would have said there was nothing wrong with it but the check ball or what ever rattles in there did not seem to have as much free motion and seemed to have duller sound as it made contact with the housing. After hours of reading probably well over hundred posts on how much is too much in your catch can, I remembered a post about over filling the engine oil. When I bought the SUV it appeared to be low, close to the bottom hole but it is so hard to tell on those dipsticks unless the oil is dirty and the oil had just been replaced at the dealership. I cussed them under my breath for being cheap and trying to save on a quart of oil and added one. I remember after putting that court in that I was satisfied with it being slightly over the top hole. That has never been a problem on other vehicles I have had but maybe this engine is sensitive to over filling. This may be why I also don't seem to think the oil is being consumed when it has to be with all I am collecting in my catch can and what has been getting burned on cold start. I will post back if it comes back but I am going to chalk this up to blow by and having too much oil in my engine. If the rate I am catching stays what it is or even gets to something more "normal", less than 1ml/mi, it won't be overfilled for long. Thanks for all your posts and suggestions. @Haz and @1004ron thanks for all the documents and trouble shooting steps. I'd say this support helped me avoid spending the money to get it diagnosed and me attempting to replace the turbo oil feed tubes that I had been stuck on due to the similarity with f150 TSB.

@Haz Thank you! I need to get the manual clearly. I haven't inspected the intake hoses but will do that. The air cleaner has been replaced and it looks fine. I will get the PVC valve and inspect the crankcase ventilation when I replace that. If all that doesn't correct it I'll have to take it to the shop. I think the turbos are fine unless it's the oil tube feed or drain. I wouldn't expect the engine to have problems at less than 80,000 miles but have no idea what the previous owners have done. The dealer can probably check the turbos and the engine better than I can. There hasn't been any post about the oil tube on the edge 2.7 l EcoBoost so I tend to think it's not that but was going to replace it just to see and save some money.

The catch can was full with what appeared to be all dirty oil, no milky water. Maybe the catch can did solve the issue but when it got full it came back. When I first put it on the smoking seemed to stop. Replacing my PCV valve is on my list now. Because I have no error codes or drivability issues I did not think it was the PCV valve. I would have done it today if the parts department at the dealership would have been open. Maybe someone on this forum will have had this issue and know how to fix it. Since I purchased it I have only had to replace the backup camera and hood struts so hope it is nothing major. After all my research before buying it and how impressed we have been with the 2013 Sport just have not expected it to be anything major.

@1004ron Thanks for posting regarding yours. I spent many late nights searching for others with a similar problem and it speaks to how little seems to go wrong with our Ford Edges as I did not find much at all that seems to go wrong. There just does not seem to be many posting serious issues for the 2.7L Echo Boost. I checked my catch can tonight and it was full (300ml). It has been less than 300 miles since I put it on so I must have some other problem than the turbo oil supply. My issues seeming to be a match for that TSB, so I have been stuck on that without looking much for other possible causes. I have avoided taking it to the shop for a diagnosis that is $250 and doesn't apply to the fix.

Hi, my first post. I purchased a 2017 Ford Edge Sport 2.7l AWD in March 2025 with ~78K miles. Also own a 2013 sport for my daughter which is how I discovered what a fantastic vehicle it is. I have observed an excessive amount of smoke on cold starts most of the time but not all of the time. It does this if parked on an incline, decline or flat. No engine codes. No oil or coolant consumption. No drivability issues at all, plenty of boost. Happens if driven aggressively or moderately. Installed a catch can that I thought eliminated it or reduced it but did not. Smoke stops quickly with in 5-10 seconds There are plenty of reports and a fix for the F150 2.7l echoboost for this issue on TSB 19-2188 but I have searched and searched but not found a TSB for the Edge 2.7l echoboost. It seems to me they are the same engine, one transversely mounted vs longitudinal. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it by replacing the oil feed tube? Is the oil feed tube same on the F150 and Edge 2.7l so maybe I could use the parts from the F150 TSB to fix this on my edge? The oil feed tube appears to be easy to replace at least the one on the front of the Engine. Before I go replacing parts, thought I would ask if others have had the issue and found a fix. If there is no TSB for the edge the oil feed tube designs may not have changed and was thinking of ordering the F150 and Edge versions, then installing the F150 if they look to be the same but improved on the F150 oil supply tube. I uploaded a video to youtube but not sure this forum allows external links but will try:
