My 2015 sport with 72k miles just needed to have the plastic oil pan removed and resealed due to an oil leak. Was told they had to drop the subframe to get to it. A $1,375 repair that wasn’t fun. Outside of that, the car has been great.
Thanks for the detailed video. Searched many forums but could not find anything. But you are well done! Now I can replace the oil in the engine myself!
Thanks for this video! I had neveer changed the oil on my Edge. Always serviced. I might add that a 6 point 27mm socket is crucial to removing filter housing if it's hard to loosen. I was starting to roll the edges with a 16 point. I ended up having to break out my air impact to finally get it loose.
Pre oiling the filter on filters this small has been de bunked many times. The only filters you need to pre oil most of the time are the big diesel filters that hold 3 or 4 qts
I have a 2018 Edge Sport and use Amsoil as well, but change it every 5K religiously. I understand extended drain intervals but I hear these EcoBoost engines push the oil hard so I'm leery of going too far past 5K even with the Sig Series. Your thoughts?
The Signature series is made to do 10 to 15k at a minimum. I change it every 12-14k on my ecoboost. Yes, the ecoboost engines are tougher on oil due to turbocharging, but this oil is made to endure all of that and then some
@@THEDriverMod_ I appreciate the response. We have 20K on ours so I'm just starting out with this 2.7L EcoBoost. Have you ever had an oil analysis done with an organization like Blackstone Labs?
Makes less mess when you release a cartridge style upside-down and allows the oil to just drain into the engine. Upside-down spin on filters and bottom side down cartridge filters are what puzzles me
@@THEDriverMod_ I was referring to ones that don't have the cartridge. This is a good design, but there's some that have no cartridge and when you take off the filter oil just spills everywhere and there's really no way to not make a mess
Has anyone else realized there are barely any fix it videos on the Ford Edge Sport with the 2.7L ? My guess would be that they hold up pretty good
They are pretty reliable yes

You're welcome! Share it around with other owners if you know any
My oil filter doesn’t slide/seat into the filter housing. Is that normal?
Put it in the cap first

Impact!?!?! Yikes!!
Well done video, thanks.
No problem, thanks for the feed back
Kind of scary that you can’t pre-oil the filter. Starting the engine dry with two turbo chargers, rather scary.

The Amsoil you are using, is that 100% synthetic?
Yes, 5w30 signature series 100% synthetic

I just did all this but when I check the dipstick is dry.
crazy
No leaks, drove 30 miles and nothing different, no lights but the dipstick still dry
You added 6 qts?

I did on the fusion and gt350. Add me on IG @anthony_vincent92 and I'll send them over

It still amazes me the complete stupidity of manufacturers to design it to where the oil filter goes in upside down

This makes sense than under the engine, for me
@@alyamoney ya I would agree I like this a lot better, it's just older cars that have it at the top spill everywhere so those ones kinda suck

Brake cleaner on plastic good job
Thanks
