ZeroPlus Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) A 2009 Edge with the 3.5L engine had a production shift mid -January of the 2019 production run. Prior to 1-16-09, it called for a FL400 oil filter. After that date, it shifted to a FL500 (Motocraft). The thread pitches on these 2 filters are different - FL400 is standard and the FL500 is metric - they should not be interchangeable. The dealer said the model I had was the FL500 group, but then put on a Purolator TL20195 oil filter, which is the equivalent of the Motocraft FL400. The insert in the manual says FL400 - SB12 or FL500, which is confusing, given the different thread pitches on the filter base. I would have thought the threads on the oil filter mounting plate would be damaged with the wrong filter - how can 2 different thread pitches be applicable?

lildisco Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 I thought that the only engine choices in 2019 were the 2.0 or the 2.7 Ecoboost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for noticing that error on my part - it is a 2009 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
