Broken sway bar link is rubbing your axle boot. Check the sway bar links.

First two are my wife's Edge. Second are my Edge. I hit the reset on the trip #2 a little late forgot to do it but yes they are always the same mileage vs oil life percentage. Wife is all city heavy idle and mine is all highway. I did forget to reset her Trip #2 so it does not exactly match, but they always do.

They are not broke. Your theory is not correct.

To the moon Alice to the moon!!

My testing results on two Ford Edges using 0W20. Blueberry (2011 edge 3.5) Lullubelle (2011 edge 3.5) 10K builds separate the two Edge's. BB all city high idle times. 200 hours at 4500 miles. LU all highway minimum idle time on occasions 10,500 miles at 200 hrs. I track this all the time. Hours are important and in both cases the Oil life monitor was much different. BB was at 55percent and LU was past 0 percent since I drove past he 10K miles. Here is the kicker. BB had higher than normal metal wear and fuel in the oil. LU had below normal metal wear and low fuel in the oil. Lab tested and verified. OIl was AMSOIL signature Filter was AMSOIL high efficiency I prove this each oil change and the same is occurring again. Nothing has changed on the Mobile one oil change and AMSOIL filter on this run either. The same engine hours and miles is occurring as I write this BB high hours low miles and LU high miles and low hours. Both corrisponding to the meter at percentage in miles. End result is if I had continued to drive BB based on the Oil Life Monitoring system BB would suffer bearing damage based on this counter. Engine hours is the most accurate measurement do not rely on the the monitor system. I have cut BB down to 100 hrs for oil changes and will be testing the oil again shortly. If the metal wear is reduced I will continue with the 5W20 if not it will be increased to 5W30. Here is the kicker folks. BB only has 94K miles on it. LU has 195,500 miles and the engine is in better shape from the highway driving than the city driving BB has to endure.

I am actually running my filter without cleaning it for a specific purpose and reason. I follow all pids on maf and operation monitoring it. Once I do clean it I will then have back up information to bounce the before and after results.

Hummmm wonder if Tory has ever tuned a 3.5 with 200,000 miles on it?

Simple answer is No. If it were an APIM issue it would leave you with a black dead screen.

I will agree to disagree I have documented this and it does not work as you propose it does. It is nothing more than a mileage counter. I have factual and documented evidence with my monitoring. I have been tracking two Edges and it does not work as you propose. Sorry I completely disagree with you on this.

look what I received in the mail.

I have found the motorcraft to be a better choice and better strut bearing mount than the moog over time.

What you talking about. LOL

Not good the nipples on the pads serve a purpose to adjust the emergency brake. IF you replaced the caliper then your issue is up front in the brake master cylinder or the abs control. Or as a last ditch effort check your emergency brake cable and adjust the tension.

The smell IMO is coming through the rear left and right vent flaps behind the bumper cover. I get this smell, but I have my window down a crack on the front passenger side and when I accelerate hard it comes into the cabin. Closed the window and no smell. The air has to escape out the vent flaps and when open the smell gets into the cabin of the edge. Not through the engine compartment.

What does the MAF sensor do? More than you think. A lot of engine management and transmission management centers around MAF sensor data.

I think I will stick with the lab testing.

Great news.

You mean this sticker. LOL

I use only hours to monitor my oil. Mileage is actually a false sense of security when it comes to wear. I run my wife's Edge at 100 hours and my Edge at 200 hrs. She is all city and can rack up 100 hours on the oil in less than 2000 miles. I rack up 10K miles in 200 hours all highway. See the difference? Her Edge actually had more wear metals in the oil due to the huge amount of idle and city driving. My Edge and below normal wear metals yet drove more hours. The OLMS is nothing more than a mile count down. If ford were to change it and go by hours then you would have a more accurate oil life monitoring system.

There has to be a Ford emblem attached to his body somewhere. LOL great info and response as always.

This is how it is done.

I really like the fact that I no longer need tools to change my oil. Makes the job much easier.

Why are we still here. The person that started this has left. LOL

Thank you that was a big help.

Yeah you might have noisy oil . Just kidding with you enigma.
