  1. $23.29 + free 2-day shipping. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-Lightweight-Shockproof-Oil/dp/B000CPI5YG
  2. Who did the brake job? They burnish them after installation?
  3. Test it out. Press the sync voice button on the steering wheel (right side, looks like someone speaking, shares the same button as "media") and say "audio on" (to turn on the radio), or "audio off" if it's on.
  4. Here's the mactfordedge video on replacing the cooling fans in 9 minutes. Personally I would not consider any brand other than Motorcraft as aftermarket fans have had vibration and excess noise problems. Some of them are wired differently. (I had mine replaced under extended warranty by the dealer.)
  5. What ABS problem are you exactly having? Does the ABS light come on?
  6. This isn't what you were asking for, but it may give you some reference as a starting point.
  7. For starters: https://www.autoanything.com/dash-kits/Ford/Edge/110A52985A0A0A6A9208A1.aspx
  8. You change or have a shop do it? Local Ford dealer will only use Motorcraft (of course).
  9. Don't know if this is your case or not, but a lot of aftermarket fans are wired differently than the Motorcraft fans. May have to rewire the fan connector to get power to the right pin.
  10. I've got a really nice one on my 09 mkx, dealer's service rep too one look and said "oh wow, you need a new wheel". Told him if he could come up with a new one under 500 I'd buy it. End of conversation. I hit a curb pulling into a +×÷=$ CVS one evening. Tore the sidewall open and went instantly flat. Nice curb rash, (make that curb rape) on the wheel. All my wheels have curb rash, builds character.
  11. Could be a glitch. Couple of things you could try. First try resetting the PCM by disconnecting the positive battery cable for a few minutes. Then reconnect the cable and make certain the connections are tight and clean. If that doesn't work, try resetting the factory alarm (which has a kill switch as part of the system). Open driver's door and leave it open. Insert your key & turn to "ON" (not "RUN"). Leave it in the "ON" position for 10 minutes. Then turn the key off. Close driver's door and then try to start the car. This will reset the anti theft device.
  12. These plastic chrome overlay wheels are made by Lacks Enterprises using a process called Chromtec. Unfortunately, they can't be repaired. http://www.lacksenterprises.com/wheels.html Mactfordedge did a video on how to remove the plastic covers. It's a job, but the aluminum wheel beneath them can be polished to resemble mags. https://youtu.be/1HucQiwE1-U
  13. Oh sure, now you tell us. Last curb I hit, spilled beer all over my lap. I vote all new cars come with curb feelers, standard. (Right now the younger fellas are scratching their heads wondering what I'm talking about).
  14. As your question is one never asked before (probably never thought of before), it's unlikely anyone has ever tried it. Ford often makes small changes in the hidden areas. My guess is, they may look simular but who knows what's different inside. Your talking 7 years difference, different models of car, most likely different vendors. The new one has additional features like heated steering wheel & your 11 doesn't. It's possible they adopted a different clockspring or different wiring layout. About the only way you can test is to go to a local recycling yard that has both and ask to examine both side-by-side. .
  15. Absolutely. While ethylene glycol never wears out, the other ingredients such as rust and corrosion inhibitors age and wear out. The most common inhibitors, silicates for aluminum protection, are used up faster than others. Green for example is recommended to be replaced at 24,000 mile/24 month intervals. Others are rated at 100k to 150k but that's the rating of the coolant and doesn't accout for acid, rust, corrosion and dirt buildup in the cooling system. Every system needs to be flushed at no more than 3-5 years. Three if you pull a trailer or overheat (fan failure, etc). In addition to keeping the coolant in good condition, I can't help wonder how long those reporting water pump failures allowed their engines to go between oil changes. (No one ever fesses up to lax maintenance. Instead it's always Ford builds junk, etc.) Timing chain stretch is a natural part of aging, but some will slack more than others. I wonder how much the slack on the timing chain has on bearing failure (which leads to seal failure).
  16. Super easy. This video will show you how.
  17. Try resetting the HVAC controller module. Press the climate control power button and the defrost button (on some systems iys the "auto" button) at the same time, hold a couple of seconds, then press the power button one more time. A code of 88 88 means it's working properly. .
  18. You REALLY need to change this filter as soon as you can. Although you knocked out as much dirt as you could, it's still full of pollen and bacteria. And with the increased airflow, your now inhaling this. Don't know what Edge you are driving, this is what I use and I get it in 2 days. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LPTGAE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uDYdBbZSJK0SV
  19. Wonder what the reference to "Front; w/ 18 In. front Vented and 17 In. solid Rear" is all about?
  20. The correct camera Model for your car is model number ET4Z-19G490-A. (There's an earlier model that's also listed for the 2013). About the only one you can be certain of is OEM (abet the price). https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-rear-camera-et4z19g490a/?c=Zz1lbGVjdHJpY2FsJnM9ZWxlY3RyaWNhbC1jb21wb25lbnRzJmk9TVMxMTE5NzUmcj0xJmE9Zm9yZCZvPWVkZ2UmeT0yMDEzJnQ9c2VsJmU9My01bC12Ni1nYXM%3D
  21. Try squirting a shot of WD-40 into the key slot. Definitely getting older, but some lubricant may free up the internal parts and allow it to function normally for another year or two.
  22. This video from Mactfordedge should help show how to R&R the fan asdy. He makes it look.easy by doing it in 9 minutes.
  23. Once every 5 years? You think it's safe to let it go that long? .
