bubbadewsky Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Is there supposed to be a large dust shield that needs removed to change oil and filter on a 2014 edge 3.5? Mine did not have one and I bought it new. Changed oil on my sons 2014 Focus today and it has a large dust shield that covers the bottom of the engine compartment that we had to remove to even see the drain plug and filter.

omar302 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) None, as far as I know, at least not on the 3.5/3.7 V6. Edited October 24, 2016 by omar302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 That shield is used for two things, aerodynamics and direct injection tick noise reduction. Doesn't have anything to do with dust. The 3.5 doesn't have DI so it's not needed for that and probably not close enough to rounding up to the next fuel economy label to make a difference for aero.
