EdgyA Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hello! I just bought a 2014 Edge with 51,000 miles and I would like to find some info about Maintance. What oil to use, coolant replacement, oil filter brands, oil change intervals. Thread referals would be appreciated. -Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Everything you need to know is in the owner's manual as far as parts and fluid specs and part numbers, type of oil, etc. If you don't have one you can get it online at owner.ford.com or motorcraftservice.com. Mact has posted videos on his oil testing and oil recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Welcome and congrats. You will find the initial maintenance intervals to be WAY too long. Whenever you get a used vehicle, the rule of thumb? CHANGE ... ALL ... FLUIDS (except maybe brake fluid, LOL). 5W30 engine oil - full synthetic preferred for Ecoboosts Coolant - you can flush with Motorcraft Orange, or flush with Peak Universal Extended Life Oil Filter - Motorcraft FL500s, or really step up the game to Purolator BOSS OCIs - will depend on your driving conditions. Go by hours, not mileage. If all highway, 200 hours. All city, 100. The IOLM can be used also, but the hours recommendation is based on independent Blackstone Labs testing Transmission Fluid - Motorcraft Mercon LV, or perform a fluid exchange with Valvoline Full Synthetic MultiVehicle ATF (better) If AWD, replace PTU/RDU fluids with Redline Lightweight Shockproof (in both, yes, both). But definitely change them out. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
