rjburer Posted May 2, 2024 Report Share Posted May 2, 2024 I have a 2015 Ford Edge Sport AWD with a 2.7 liter Eco-boost engine. How long should the necessary procedures take to replace the oil pan? If the pan is plastic, should it be replaced with a metal pan? Thank you. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 19, 2024 Report Share Posted July 19, 2024 Apr 25 2018 6410 - 2014-2019 Various Vehicles - Equipped with a 2.7L and 3.0L GTDI Engine - Oil Pan Leak. Some Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with a 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines may exhibit an oil leak from the engine oil pan RTV seal. Replace the oil pan by performing the published Workshop Manual (WSM) service procedures. After removing the oil pan, it is suggested to allow the crankcase to drain overnight to minimize the chance of residual oil contaminating the crankcase sealing rail. Remove all traces of old RTV, clean the engine sealing surface with only Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner then wipe with Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes, and allow to air dry as directed in WSM, Section 303-00, RTV Sealing Surface Cleaning and Preparation. If possible, after the new oil pan is installed, allow the new RTV sealant to cure for 4 hours before refilling the engine with oil. Ford is investigating this concern. Monitor OASIS for future updates. Just to replace, between 2-3 hours. But following the Ford procedures above .... I'd call local dealer and get a quote. Metal with gasket is probably better, but you'd probably pay double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakatooi2012 Posted Thursday at 07:05 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:05 PM Not only on the vehicles listed. My 2019 Edge with the 2L turbo has oil pan gasket 'seepage'. Discovered when they changed my transmission because of a tranny failure. The technician recommended changing the oil pan gasket while they had the transmission removed. BUT...because it was just seepage, not a 'leak', it was not covered under my warranty. And, the labor to replace the pan gasket was something like 12 hours!! Not going to happen. They did not say it would be reduced to just the price of the gasket and a small amount of labor since they were getting paid to remove the transmission anyway. Double dipping is what that is, but I'm not paying for it. If it become a LEAK, then my warranty will replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted Thursday at 07:20 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:20 PM Real easy to calculate. Ask what oil pan R&R minus transmission R&R is. Then argue from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted Thursday at 08:53 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:53 PM Id imagine that the 12 hours also included the time the car was on the life draining (must drain every drop) and 4 hours wait to allow the RTV to cure. Not all of that is billable. Honestly I'd go with replacing the pan gasket as the cost is probably minimal while they're down there (and avoids oil drippage on the garage floor.)
