13edgesport08 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm doing my first oil change as an Edge owner tomorrow and not sure which brand to use. I'm thinking royal purple full synthetic but still trying to figure out what's best for the 2013 edge 3.7L. Any suggestions or am I ok to go with the royal purple?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Depends. How long do you plan to go in between changes? OEM Motorcraft synblend is fine for shorter interval/distance OCI's. Among aftermarket full synthetics, Amsoil & Royal Purple are very popular, as is Mobil 1. If you face extreme temperatures, then you may be better off going with a 0Wxx oil than a 5Wxx oil to get easier cold weather starts. I would look up a few Product Data Sheets (PDS's) for items of interest, compare them for viscosity index (stability through temp range) and Noack (volatility) at the very least.

carguy75 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I use Mobil 1 5w-20 full synthetic oil that has the Ford certification and have no problems so far. I do 4k-5k oil changes,but the oil looks like it could go longer or what-ever the oil life gauge recommends(I guess about 10k miles). If you do go with Royal Purple and still have warranty coverage on your Edge, get the API version(SAE) of the RP 5w-20 oil to meet Ford recommendations to meet warranty standards. http://www.royalpurpleconsumer.com/wp-content/uploads/PS_API_MotorOIl.pdf Edited November 18, 2015 by carguy75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
