It's not, it's only a recommendation. One way to be certain is to drain a small amount of coolant and test one or twice a year. The important part is to make certain that the coolant doest go acid as it ages.

Ford builds cars. It's the suppliers who design and build the add-ons. The map software is produced by HERE maps and the DO have a procedure for sending in edits. I've done it twice. In order to just "hit a button" the navigation unit would need to be a full computer, with a specific i/o function dedicated to just this purpose. Used what, once a year? If you go onto the HERE website you will find the method for making edits on their maps. As far as why so long, I called HERE and it's not them, it's Ford. Appearently Ford has decided to switch venders for the map software. But then that's not comfirmed either. .

I buy mine on Amazon. Cheaper and better selection. Normally I buy the ATP brand with carbon. Couple of years ago I went with OEM. On my filter, I didn't see any difference in number of pleats over aftermarket.

Musty Smell from vents after AC shut off
enigma-2 replied to haedgy's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
One other possibly is to have the dealer do it while it's up.on the hoist for an oil change. My dealer told me they don't stock the foam, but if I were to bring it in, they would spray it into the evaporator drain while it's up there.- 9 replies

Looks like it's been in there awhile. (Either that or its a charcol filter). When I change mine, I also spray mine with PuraClean electrostatic filter spray. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0145I072I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_R-GRAb22YG2FP

extended warranty need help!
enigma-2 replied to kowgurl98's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
I deleted what I originally wrote, the warranty does indeed look like it's just another Ford dealer selling on line. (I now believe I was wrong, should have read the site closer). What's curious is the cut off for this dealer is the avaliablity the 2012 model year or later, and for vehicles with less than 55k miles (I have a 09 mkx and over 100k miles and just bought the 3 year, powertrain warranty late last year). I'll leave the rest of the post as it's still pertant. Here's Ford ESP http://www.zeiglerfordesp.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1q3VBRCFARIsAPHJXrEF3KQ8l8Iac5QFBFbY5yOlKl3dw0ZR3gRIMHSVHqQSJK_qI4k4VzIaAkizEALw_wcB https://www.floodfordesp.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1q3VBRCFARIsAPHJXrH4bhR4tBog0r06oGRL7GgHxc5TQLEkgZvFNHqFVOgSqhgil1B9Xt4aAv6AEALw_wcB (This is the official Ford warranty website -it takes forever to load, was written in MyFordSync language) https://fordprotect.ford.com/extended-service-plan -

window sticker lookup for used Edge?
enigma-2 replied to bamabob's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
If you're unable to get one, next time your at your dealer, have the service rep look it up and print you a copy. They will be happy to do it. -
Welllll, yes. The MKX is hand-built by a select team of experts, who have had 2-1/2 years training. Each averages 20 years experience in production and nearly all of which have aquire the union status of "craftsman".The Edge is built in a garage on 4th Street by a bunch of high school trade students who get paid $12.50 /hr. The Fusion and MKZ (that should probably read MKzzzzzzzzz) are built in a Goodwill parking lot, by recovering addicts who live in a half-way house and eat bologna sandwiches for breakfast. .

Climate Fan repeatedly turns all the way up!
enigma-2 replied to ab50228's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
If you have the manual climate control, I would suspect the blower motor resistor as failing. -
Lot of talk over in the Ford truck forum about 2016 models and grooved rotors. One guy reported he talked to a service technician and he told him that Ford switched to "much harder material" on the pads, due to "issues in the previous generations". Here's the link: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1441846-2016-front-brake-rotor-grooves.html

It's probaby Dean Winters hiding under there. Insure you car with Allstate and it will go away.

They talked about larger tires over in the 150 forum, threw off OEM navigation. Nav units telling them to turn AFTER he passed his turn. It then recalculated the route. One fella recommended disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes, then take it out for a drive. Said his friend's odometer was off (reading slow) and the truck relearned the new tires.

Would it help if you lowered the seat diwn prior to entry/exiting?

Is the liftgate opening height adjustable on a 2011 Limited

All's well... ? -
Is the liftgate opening height adjustable on a 2011 Limited
enigma-2 replied to topdri68's topic in Exterior & Body
BTW did you ever try resetting the opening height? Mine doesn't have this feature, but I belief that you open it, then manually set it to the height you want, then press and HOLD the soft button on the open hatch, until you hear a chime, indicating that the new height has been set. -
Not a biggie as far as I'm concerned, but nitrous is illegal in some states (Maryland assigns 5 points if they catch you). One thing I would do if I were you is check with your insurance company to see if they have any requirements for this type of modification. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have the 3.5 and am well satisfied with it. Local Ford garage told me to change from orange to green coolant as it was the cause of water pump failures and heater core clogs. Can't say it is the cause, but one member, MacFordEdge, reported that he has put on over 200k miles without failure. As only a small percent fail, I would guess that old coolant has a lot to do with it.

2013 Edge Limited SMOOTHEST riding tire recommendations in 2018?
enigma-2 replied to enigmakv's topic in Wheels & Tires
I'm running Bridgestone Ecopia's 245/50R-20. Super smooth and very quiet. Replaced my last set in mid 30's to return to full tread for traction. Still had usable life. -
What are the stock OEM tires for the 2015 sport 20"
enigma-2 replied to Rgralliart's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
According to tirerack.Com, the OEM tires were the Hankook Venus S1 Noble ($181.92) and the Perelli Scorpion Verde All Season ($172.65). Both are 245/50R20. Keep in mind that the tires supplied to OEM are better than what's sold on aftermarket. Had an engineer friend who I worked with years ago, who worked with GM. What he learned about tires was, the OEM tire manufacturers spin balanced every tire right on their production line. The best ones went to GM. (Less lead used to balance). The ones that needed more lead to balance went to aftermarket. -
From the Techron website FAQ: Q: How often should I add Techron to my tank? A: Techron is recommended for use every 3,000 miles or right before an oil change. You should limit your use of Techron to no more than five bottles or treatments between oil changes.

World record 1/4 drag racing run (quickest and fastest) - tuned by Livernois
enigma-2 replied to 037's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
Only way I could make it faster would be to run across the center of the round-abouts. Got plenty of the ©redit ©ard (D)ebt however. Doesn't make the MKX go any faster. -
You didn't get the high pressure and return lines reversed, did you?

I have an 09, and no noise or problems. About 115k. My guess it's miles related. How many miles does your car?
