Nah sounds like too much, already did the front intercooler, a tune, black lug nuts on the black wheels and their hitch cover embossed ST logo, fins and textured finish. just did the blackout tint on the reflectors, already had the black Ford logos front and rear

Only operating instructions. No installation instructions. 

No idea, never used a torque wrench on that.   Turn it down until it bottoms out and that's it - its seals on the o-rings and doesn't need any torque for that.

You beat me to it.   Not sure about the steel difference between different brand rotors BUT as far as " warped rotors " are concerned, the pad deposits are the most likely culprit.  Turning rotors usually does not remove that issue.  Brake pad deposits are extremely hard.   It's only a rare occurrence where the rotor has actually warped, and that is due to poor manufacturing of the rotor.  Bad batches of " something " always appear because they slip through QC, presuming that facility actually has QC in the first place.   If I was to change anything about my Ford Edge braking system, it would be two ( 2 ) things:   1.  Go from a plain rotor to a properly slotted rotor.  Personally I have found that slotted rotors help dispel water between the pads and rotors very quickly, like on rainy days or when you just get out of the car wash   2.  Stainless Steel brake lines.  The difference is night and day between SS lines and the overly flexible rubber lines installed as OEM

Its been my experience that the Ford brake parts are  of good quality. (Of course that's only my "opinion".)   Its my understanding that the reasons for pulsating rotors are almost always from over heating the brakes. Such as riding the brakes (keeping constant, light pressure on the pedal while descending long hills generates non-stop friction and extreme heat) or repeated hard stops from high speeds (doesn't give the rotors time to cool down.) Another is when you slam on your brakes and then keeping the brake pedal held down (such as a hard stop at a red light.) The resin in the  superheated pad essentially melts and leaves a microscopic sticky deposit on the rotor.   I don't believe that there's any real difference between the steel on one rotor and another. Pads vary, but its really driving that is the primary contributor to "warped" rotors.

18 lb.ft  That's what the 2015 Service Manual indicates (attached). I wouldn't expect it to have changed for later models.  2015 Ford Edge 2.7EB Oil & Filter Change x.PDF

I don’t really race my GTO, although if I ever got the chance, I would Autocross it for the experience.  I’d be more confident with the Brembos in place of the factory brakes.   My complaint about the Edge brakes is probably more to do with not so good factory parts.  When I bought my daughter’s SEL last year, hers and the one we test drove prior to buying both had warped rotors.  I was shocked to drive two back to back with warped rotors.  The selling dealership said they would fix it and while they did turn the rotors, they still pulsated.  I told my daughter I would just replace the brakes myself and not go back there again.  My Edge is starting to pulsate and it appears to have the factory brakes on it.  Nothing showed in the service history about prior replacement.  I will most likely get some O’Reilly’s pads and rotors and call it a day.     I’m with you regarding the idiots we share the road with.  I value good brakes.  

Thats all the information I have access to. Perhaps HAZ has something in the service manuals.    The module is responsible for feeding information to the OBD-II port, so the cable should run directly to the module.    Were there any instructions accompanying the alarm?

What is the torque spec for the oil filter housing?
