Azim Premji Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 My 2010 Ford Edge is just a couple of months old, purchased with 8800km, a return from a ford executive. Need to top up anti-freeze and manual calls for green ford speciality, no other info available. Green is mostly called "universal" compatible with aluminum. Extended Life is yellow/gold. My Escape had extended life anitifreeze. Colours don't mean nothing as its a dye used by manufactures. Can any one confirm "ford speciality" means?

igcitng Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Isn't that included with your regular service? At least during the warranty period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azim Premji Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Correct!! Regular maintenance not covered by warranty. Called a Ford Dealer in my city, it seems the green anti-freeze is new to Ford Edge 2010 from Extended Life yellow/gold colour to green but no other info was made available to me . As mentioned earlier "green" (just a dye) is most commonly known as "universal" BUT not in this case. Am planning to visit my Dealer for Oil change Monday, I will check this out. Seems most likely this anti-freeze needs to be purchased at the dealer. Winter will be upon us soon for some folks, in Edmonton, Alberta light/wet snow this week, needed some anti-freeze for top up thru the winter months. Ford Specs for Canada is CVC-10-A / M97B55-A This will be my winter season in my new 2010 Edge AWD (just about fully loaded) and am so looking forward to it. Just returned from 2 trips back to back about 2000kms 5 hours each way, the drive was good and very very comfortable. All in all pretty happy with my 2010 Edge .

ablb Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Warranty doesn't cover normal maintenance items. I wouldn’t think having to add coolant to a 2010 would be considered “normal maintenance", especially with only 8800km on it. I drove a company provided Taurus (co provided maintenance)…needed coolant twice a year. The autopsy revealed that a head gasket had been leaking a long time. Sounds like you need to have them check for leaks. ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
