WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Why high mileage oil? Unnecessary with our Edge/MKX vehicles unless you actually spot a leak, plus a oneway street with the seal swellers. Stick with the regular oil.

chefduane Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I agree its probably not needed. M-1 advertises it for vehicles over 75k. I've got 90k on my AWD LTD. Do you really think it will do harm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Was taking my Edge in to my shop today to have them do a suck/fill on my PTU and remembered I had purchased Motorcraft plugs and an upper intake plenum gasket for when I did plugs. I figured I might as well have them do everything so I'm getting the PTU fluid changed, plugs, and a plenum gasket done all at once. Be good to go tomorrow. Nice to get this done before a trip down to Galveston later this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Good decision. Expect a bill of $400+, but necessary. If you remember, like to know what they charge for just the drain and refill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 No problem. The estimate was $295 but I expect that could change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Aside from the fact I don't really see value in the HM oil by way of additives like moly or ZDDP anyway, the seal swellers will wear down seals faster than they would otherwise, and thus leaks will happen faster too. This is a gradual process of course, one OC probably won't do it. But once the seal(s) start leaking, you will be in for major repair bills. That 75K might apply to engines from 20+ years ago, it certainly does not now. You would be better off using a slightly higher viscosity oil if it comes to that, instead of an HM labeled oil. Go here to macbwt's virgin oil testing comparison sheet and see for yourself what difference if any between Mobil1 and Mobil1 HM ... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oTuPwZHKoSqFLClaZrBhMh9D5vpX0VhLZrmVdLyFnbE I agree its probably not needed.

chefduane Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Ok, total bill on what I mentioned above was $315.97. The invoice lists PTU drain/fill was $75, sparkplugs were $220 and they also put the upper intake plenum gasket N/C. They list the summary as follows: Parts Total $19 Tax on Parts $1.57 Labor $295 Disposal fees $19 Charged Amount $315.57 Glad to get all that done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) $75, thanks. Gives us a reference point for what to expect. Price for plugs was lower than what I paid. Was in last week for tire repair and The Works. Service rep came out and told me I was due to injector flush ($150 - heh, told him I use Techron plus) and new plugs ($315). Told him I had them changed at 90k service. Almost felt sorry for the little puppy face. His job to ratchet up the service bill and I killed his $500 upcharge bonus. But hey, for $315 I DO get a free car wash. (!!!) Curious. Parts were only $19? 6-plugs and gasket for $19. How do they do that? Was this a Ford garage or local?

chefduane Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 My shop will take bring-in parts. Its a Goodyear store I've been going to for years and is owned by a guy I've known for years. I brought in the Motorcraft plugs, a Felpro gasket, and a full synth 75w140. So a more real estimate would include cost of the parts I brought in but it would still be less than if the shop charged me for the parts. I don't recall what I paid for the plugs or the gasket but the gear oil was about $20. Your guesstimate of $400 probably isn't that far off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamugrad2013 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I purchased a Covercraft Winshield sunshade and it arrived yesterday. Looking forward to seeing if it will keep the interior cooler on this recent string of 105+ F we have had lately. I am impressed with the fit but for $64.00 it better fit exactly right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaX83_ZA Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Edge went in for Oil change today at Ford. Obviously took my own oil as they charge $100 for 5l of Fully synthetic and Walmart sold Castrol FTT for $28 this weekend. They are also servicing the sunroof (finally) and apparently there is a recall on the back window (risk to shatter in cold when using demister) that they are looking at. We dont get a free wash with our services LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Speaking of fart cannons, I'm getting sick and tired of these kids buying Infiniti G37s and putting on super loud fart cannon exhausts and waking up half the neighborhood. There is no reason for them to be that loud on city streets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildisco Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Just as well. Have you seen the dirty rags they use to "clean" your vehicle? LOL This times Eleventybillion! NOBODY at a dealership will wash ANY of our cars. No way! It always cracks me out when people toss in free car washes. IF (that's a HUGE IF) they offered a touchless w/ underbody wash, i might consider it. I've seen these tools drop rags on the floor, & just grind the dirt/debris into paint. Absoluetly not & hope other people take notice & refuse the wash, unless they're touchless & have competent people operating it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a HEMI, cold start is even worse. the 3 scatpacks and 2 hellcats I've had for a few weeks would wake up the neighborhood when I started them in the garage at 4am 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
