Metroplex Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I was considering a new 2020 or 2021 Edge ST, but seeing how much of it is the same as the earlier Edge Sport, I was wondering if Sport owners could chime in: Does the Edge Sport have a PTU cooler? You can tell if there are 2 cooling hoses going towards the bottom of the PTU (by the drain plug area). Someone told me their Edge Sport did not have one. Ford apparently installed these on the MKZ/Fusion with 2.7/3.0 Does the Edge Sport have an aux trans cooler that is oil-to-air (like a radiator behind the grille)? I know there is an oil-to-water exchanger on top of the trans that is used to help warm up the ATF and to regulate the ATF temperature using coolant. That's why the ATF temperatures are never much cooler than your engine coolant temperatures. My Fusion Sport has a trans cooler under the left fog light as well as the cooling block on top of the trans. I'm pretty sure the Edge Sport doesn't have an engine oil cooler (would sit next to the oil filter cap) as I've only seen them on the truck 2.7 engines, but I thought I'd ask anyhow.

IIRC some lincoln models have the same drivetrain and have the oil cooler.. and i would think, the same clearance, though i've not been under the hood of any to verify.. Anyone?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Don't know about gen 2.5, but gen 2 sport had no oil cooler (typically coolant system linked) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jsWiisAd2B_oFRfm1X2qlGVgr3JOMBwU Transmission cooling, with and without active warmup https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dmOFQNy3taKEqH6eEI0FxczzQkNdrdqA Active transmission warm-up uses reclaimed heat energy to warm up the transmission faster. This, along with a durable, synthetic, ultra-low-viscosity fluid – engineered specifically for the new Edge – reduces component friction and helps save fuel https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/09/12/new-ford-edge--edge-st-use-artificial-intelligence-to-help-impro.html https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/2018-01-0385/ An oil cooler IS mentioned for the 3.5 tho https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_aAtiuGaCEee6Mzb6euvECksoZ1e4V8Z https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts-list/2018-ford-edge/engine/oil_cooler_and_filter.html?Filter=(30275)&PNC=6A642 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if anyone has tried mounting an OEM cooler to the rear head where the block off plate is? or is it impossible to make it fit?

Metroplex Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 The MKZ 3.0 oil cooler can be retrofitted onto the 2.7 in the Fusion Sport (direct-fit). You just need a new hose from the degas bottle. The hose that runs from the rear of the oil cooler doesn't need to be changed. Be aware if you have a JLT oil separator (which is kind of useless IMHO), you won't be able to use the oil cooler as that is exactly where the oil cooler is situated.
