Just keep your foot off the brake when you push the start/stop button & you'll be able to have the car on, but not running.

They're usually in the back under specifications. Mine was under rear axle

Not specific for the ST, but should be similar:

I'd check your Owners Manual & verify. Most of the horror stories are from the previous gens that didn't have 'serviceable' components. I believe that you're stuck with only 1 manufacturer, Motorcraft, that makes the RDU fluid, Motorcraft XY-75W-QL disconnect fluid. The PTU has more options available. Redline Lightweight Shockproof 75W140, aka Smurf Blood, is what I & many others use. Others prefer Amsoil. However, I'm not a Sport/ST so I don't know if they're different or not. I can tell you that I've changed both twice in 31,000 miles. The first fluid change on both had the most material in the oil. When I did the second time, things were much nicer. Both fluid changes are relatively cheap if you do them by yourself. The Motorcraft RDU fluid is ~$40/qt & Redline Lightweight Shockproof 75W140 is ~$25. Here's my thread on it, but I believe things are going to be slightly different on the ST.

Nearly 13,000 (12,726) mile update. Fluid came out a nice light brown color. Magnet had some dark material on it (which still could have been leftovers from the first drain & fill), but the fluid wasn't nearly has nasty as the 1st time. I did by a cheap Amazon special nearly flat 3/8 wrench that made the job much easier. It was $10 so wasn't too bad. Cleaned off both plugs & refilled. Still had some left from the 1st time I did it as well as a full fresh quart. Nearly took all of the fresh quart, but she's clean & ready to go. I saw on the Maverick forums that they were changing theirs every 5,000 miles, which seems to be extreme, but maybe they haul more than me? Dunno. 'Cheap' insurance at ~$40 quart & 30 minutes of your time.

Not too bad of a deal if you can get it in stock https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-FS-European-Car-Formula-Full-Synthetic-Motor-Oil-5W-40-5-Quart-Pack-of-3/389304923?athbdg=L1800&adsRedirect=true

Depends on your driving style. I tow a ZTR Mower in a 5x8 trailer almost every week during the summer months. This year I hauled about ~3,500lbs of mulch twice (about 10 miles one way) from Lowe's. Not very smart, but it was over a short distance & I didn't go over 35mph the entire way. I also haul random other things a few times a year, but towing also shortens the service intervals. The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is located up by the transmission. Usually gets hot because of the engine bay & heats up the fluid & the fluid breaks down faster. I changed that out to Redline Lightweight Shockproof 75W140 (Smurf Blood) & it appears to handle the heat & beating I do when towing. I believe that I swapped it out ~18,000 miles & then again ~8,000 miles later & still looked new blue with way less shavings on the drain plug. Rear Drive Unit, RDU, I've only changed once with Motorcraft 75W Disconnect Fluid (only brand compatible with the RDU that I'm aware of). It was pretty nasty & I should probably do it again soon. Transmission has already been discussed, but all depends on usage. I wouldn't go above 30,000 on either of the 3. As far as changing the fluids compared to the previous vehicles you've driven, there's probably a lot more electronics in your steering wheel compared to your entire car of your youths. These electronics have a finer tolerance than your previous vehicles. Tiny amounts of dirt & debris can create havoc on these electronics. Better to have fresh clean fluid, than dirty old broken down fluid.

Preventative maintenance. To my knowledge, there's no filter on these transmissions. Best to change the fluid every 30,000 or before instead of waiting & causing more harm than good. It's relatively easy & cheap for ST's & non ST's to do. Especially for piece of mind. I may do my next flush sooner to get the Valvoline in there instead of the Motorcraft fluid.

Ordered some for my 2020 SEL AWD. Roughly the same cost as Motorcraft, but for whatever reason I prefer Valvoline for transmission fluid. You also need to order in quantities of 6 if you do free shipping.

I don't remember what version I installed, maybe 2 tone, but it's from the 2015-2018 version edge & I'm quite pleased with it. Moar better than the whimpy beep beep OEM horn. Install took less than 10 minutes. I went in through the drivers front wheel liner with the wheel turned all the way to the right & popped it out. Plug & play. Let me see if I can find the thread. https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/32355-change-single-note-horn-to-dual-note-horn/#comment-233940

Summer rubber installed on our 2016 SEL Fwd. Kumho Crugen HP71's & new TPMS's installed. TPMS's were still good, but we just crossed over 8 years on the OEMs. Didn't want to unmount them & replace them in the next year or so. Spring me didn't screw fall me this time. Winters, which probably need to be replaced as well, are cleaned & ceramic coated. Now to hopefully enjoy Mother's Day this weekend with the wife & a family.

Got around to putting the summer wheels & tires on our 2020. This year, spring me won't screw fall me. I cleaned & 'ceramic' coated the wheels with Mekee's 37 Hydro Blue. Second year I've used it. Makes cleaning the wheels really easy. There's something about water beading off the wheels that makes you feel like the wheels are really clean. The 2016 is getting new summer rubber, the OEMs lasted till now. Now to repeat the tire cleaning process so spring me doesn't screw fall me.

I know that the non ST's take ULV fluid. Not sure about the ST's. I just did my 2020 SEL's with OEM Mercon ULV fluid a few months ago. Doubt it's helpful. Owners manual says Mercon ULV for the 2.7L :

I'm wondering if some sort of debris from the pads? I've had 4 or 5 sets of these over the years on different vehicles & have never had an issue. Maybe this was just a fluke. Surely it's odd, but relatively cheap repair.

I've noticed a weird grove developing in my drivers side rear rotor. Took everything apart & cleaned & lubed everything. I probably could have paid someone to resurface both the pad & rotor, but it ~$150 for a new set of pads & rotors for the rear, so I just replaced them. Both sets were centric premiums & centric pads, so maybe something wedged between it & I didn't catch it. Relatively painless repair, took more time to find my rear caliper tool than anything.I've noticed a weird grove developing in my drivers side rear rotor.
