Excessive smoke on cold start - 2017 Ford Edge Sport 2.7l

[JohnR0983]

Hi, my first post. I purchased a 2017 Ford Edge Sport 2.7l AWD in March 2025 with ~78K miles. Also own a 2013 sport for my daughter which is how I discovered what a fantastic vehicle it is.

 

I have observed an excessive amount of smoke on cold starts most of the time but not all of the time. It does this if parked on an incline, decline or flat.

• No engine codes.
• No oil or coolant consumption.
• No drivability issues at all, plenty of boost.
• Happens if driven aggressively or moderately.
• Installed a catch can that I thought eliminated it or reduced it but did not.

• Smoke stops quickly with in 5-10 seconds

 

There are plenty of reports and a fix for the F150 2.7l echoboost for this issue on TSB 19-2188 but I have searched and searched but not found a TSB for the Edge 2.7l echoboost. It seems to me they are the same engine, one transversely mounted vs longitudinal.

 

Has anyone had this issue and fixed it by replacing the oil feed tube?

 

Is the oil feed tube same on the F150 and Edge 2.7l so maybe I could use the parts from the F150 TSB to fix this on my edge?

The oil feed tube appears to be easy to replace at least the one on the front of the Engine. Before I go replacing parts, thought I would ask if others have had the issue and found a fix. If there is no TSB for the edge the oil feed tube designs may not have changed and was thinking of ordering the F150 and Edge versions, then installing the F150 if they look to be the same but improved on the F150 oil supply tube.

 

I uploaded a video to youtube but not sure this forum allows external links but will try:

Welcome.

 

I also have a 2017 Sport and at 112K miles now and haven't seen this at all.

 

It sure does seem similar to what's reported in the TSB.
