    The transmission fluid exchange does work if you do it about every 30-40K miles using a Mercon LV fluid (yes it works with the 2007-2010 also) Keep the fluid fresh and it will help the whole system. I have NEVER replaced a transmission filter in the 6F50 transmission in nearly 700,000 accumulated miles between three Edges with two of them being over 285,000 miles each. Maintenance folks keep the fluids changed. Just to clarify on the transmission service I have done. The machine takes a quart out then put a quart back in. then repeats the procedure while the engine is in operation. Basically it is a drain and fill but automated. 150 dollars and about 20-30 minutes of time.

    LU is smiling at 296,000 soon. Pretty sure 300,000 is going to happen before Christmas. As a celebration after the first of the year LU will be receiving her first ever new water pump, chains, tensioners, guides etc. Pretty sure it is time as the ole Duratec is making a bit of noise so pushing it just a bit more. This will be 15K more than the 2008 Edge ran.

    Running at the 290,000 mile mark and LU the 2011 Edge is so smooth with the new complete suspension replacement. the cost and work was worth the effort. LU is paid off and recently evaluated for trade in at 2300 dollars by a dealer. LOL I asked for the trade in evaluation expecting low ball dealer trade in price. The thing is this Edge show excellent wear in oil testing on the engine and transmission. It runs flawlessly and is still on the OE water pump and timing chains. Oil changes are at 250 hour intervals (over 10K miles) using a different synthetic oil each oil change. I also checked under the Edge and hardly any rust and no leaks. This is one tight Edge with many more miles to go. LU is a keeper.

    Another video about the preparation for the $1800 dollar suspension rebuild project. The project has been completed and more videos will follow. I will say it was needed and LU now drives nearly like a new Edge again. Well worth the effort.
