hassan.syed Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Just wanted to know at what mileage everybody is changing their oil/filter in their Edge. I just had an oil change done (full synthetic) and the dealership put my next visit in 8,000 km or 5 months. Correct me if I am wrong, from what I got from the owners manual, oil changes are done when the vehicle reaches up to 16,000 km driven. Shouldnt the dealership be following the vehicles owner's manual or at least close to it?, or do they just estimate based on other criteria Edited October 28, 2015 by hassan.syed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Follow the owner's manual. See if your driving style/conditions meet the NORMAL or SEVEREDUTY definitions, and then use that interval as guide. Or if you don't mind variability, you can use the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor function to tell you when the oil needs changing. Be sure to reset it once the oil change is complete. The servicing shop may or may not do it for you. Pg 455 of the manual: Your vehicle is equipped with theIntelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, whichdisplays a message in the informationdisplay at the proper oil change interval.This interval may be up to one year or10000 miles (16000 kilometers). When the oil change message appears inthe information display, it is time for an oilchange. Make sure you perform the oilchange within two weeks or 500 miles(800 kilometers) of the messageappearing. Make sure you reset theIntelligent Oil-Life Monitor after each oilchange. See Oil Change Indicator Reset(page 263). If your information display resetsprematurely or becomes inoperative, youshould perform the oil change interval atsix months or 5000 miles (8000kilometers) from your last oil change.Never exceed one year or 10000 miles(16000 kilometers) between oil changeintervals.

akirby Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Dealerships hardly ever follow the mfrs recommended intervals - they want you to spend more money with them. Go by the owners manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
