I don't understand what that bold part has to do with the discussion in this thread, i.e. what is the best option to use for this specific vehicle.

we all know that most of the shops just use universal coolant for years with no problems(sometimes except EU cars). So I think I will just replace one gallon - that's it.

NZP said: The main reason - to lower the freezing point, which is -15 Celsius now in my current old coolant. I drove last 3 winters with no problems. I used to work as a mechanic for years and most of the shops I know just add this yellow universal coolant to almost any car. My current coolant is very clean but I diluted it with boiled distilled water at the time I replaced my water pump 4 years ago. You seem to already have all the answers you needed before posting here. As 1004ron said above said previously, and I also said, there is no one coolant for all cars. As 1004ron also said Ford has updated is formulas and, IIRC, the latest version of coolant, Yellow, is backwards compatible. Where the differences in coolants exist is in what you don't see. Manufacturers use certain materials in their radiator construction. In doing so, manufacturers specify certain chemicals, or combination of chemicals, to work with the radiator internals for a lasting life. Changing the specified formulas could / may / will have a negative reaction to the radiator materials, and possibly something elsewhere within the motor. BUT . . . as already state, use whatever coolant you want. It's your choice. -
@Samurai Edge in this case the Owner's Manual specification has been superseded as mentioned by @dabangsta and this was due to research and development by Ford to reduce the risk of this V6 engine with its internal coolant pump. Ford also revised the fluid for my 2017 V6 which doesn't have the risk of the internal coolant pump, and that's what I stick with. There's certain fluids and lubricants that I use Non-OEM such as brake fluid, engine oil, RDU and PTU oil, and some that I stick with the OEM such as the coolant where we don't have the specific chemical composition and the reason for Ford's revision.

@NzP what exactly do you mean by that - are you a trained and qualified mechanic?

When pressing the glove box release, what seems like the whole assembly falls out. Ideas on what broke? -

What we are all trying to tell you is stick with OEM Ford Motorcraft coolant. Just make sure you use the correct formula for your Edge. Check your Owner's Manual for the correct formula. Ford, like other manufacturer's, design a specific formula coolant for their vehicles. It is designed for a specific purpose. Other coolant manufacturer's, like Prestone, Peak, and numerous others, design their formulas to be a formula for every brand car, a one size fits all, despite the fact that are specific differences between different formulas for different cars. Will they work? Mostly if you pick the right one. Will they void a warranty? Probably not. Will they do the EXACT same thing as the manufactures specified formulas? NO -
So I got a headache again: My water pump failed at 105K(right after I bought the car), so I assume no one changed coolant since beginning. Are u trying to say that Peak Full Force won't work?
