  1. Yes. I'd say averaging about 30-38 degrees for the last 2 months
  2. I'd day for about the last month, the temperature has averaged about 38 degrees & the month prior was around 30,i think. Here's a comparison to my 2008 Mazda CX7 w/80,633 miles on it. The CX7 has about 5,000 miles on its oil change
  3. Oil change & drained the catch can. I have about 2,000 miles since i last drained the catch can & about 4,100 miles since i last changed the oil. Nasty.....
  4. I've always had good luck with Centric Rotors & Hawk Pads. The last Hawk Pads i went with my Mazda CX7 have a lot of brake dust, i believe that they're HP+'s. This time I went with Centric Rotors (12561118) & Powerstop pads (Z231818) for the Fronts & OEM Factory Rotors & Centric Posi-Quiet pads part #10516650 for the rears. Here's my thread on this: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22327-2016-sel-pad-upgrade/?do=findComment&comment=168255
  5. The sports have different rotors than the SE, SEL & Titanium. It has always been my understanding with Ford that they use a soft rotor with a hard pad. That may or may not be true, but i have always had to change the brakes on my Ford's out early due to warpage/vibration. That being said, i changed the brakes out on our '16 SEL because of the gobs of grease like brake material. I did have a slight vibration that could be felt when braking, but wasn't terrible. Shortly after replacing the rotors/pads, the wife had to make some 70-5mph stops on the highway in Michigan. The new rotors preformed flawlessly & continue to do so till this day with the added benefits of much much less brake dust & better stopping power.
  6. Cooling fans... I believe that there's a TSB on the issue
  7. I've never tapped a fuse in the Edge before, I imagine that it wouldn't be hard to do. I've left my Edge on Default PowerPoint Timeout & it hasn't effected the performance of the cam. Just make sure that you get a good Micro SD card that can take multiple rewrites. Not all Micro SD cards are created equal.
  8. What's too long about it? Is something plugged in? I've had a dash cam plugged in for over a year without an issue draining the battery. Only way I'm aware of to change it is through FORScan. There's also several other things that you can do to change as well.
  9. It's not always on. Can't remember how long it stays on (maybe 20 minutes?), but no more than an hour after car is off. Only way to modify is to get an OBD2 adapter & download a free program called FORScan & change the As Built data
  10. Not that bad actually when i changed it a few months ago. The wife has the car at work so i can't show the difference with a brand new one.
  11. According to Amazon they're 11.9 x 7.6 x 4.5 inches, but it's definitely not 4.5 inches tall, the other 2 #'s seem correct
  12. I think that i have a regular H9 bulb (no extreme or silver stars) for nearly 2 years in my '16 SEL. My only regret is why didn't i do it sooner? Benefits are more usable light. I've had H9's installed for several road trips where the bulb was on for hours & never noticed any bad effects.
  13. Definitely installed a Non Carbon, OEM Cabin Air Filter, Motorcraft FP-71. Only difference this year was the price. It went up about $5 for the same thing as last year. $20.51 shipped from Amazon
  14. I definitely didn't install a carbon filter last year, Motorcraft FP-71
  15. Lolololololololol, when most people can use Waze, Google Maps & Car Play for nearly free & charge $150? Wow.... I'm assuming that this requires a dealer visit or is it done via WiFi?
  16. My calipers haven't been replaced, but I've replaced my front rotors & pads & just the pads on the rear of my 16 SEL, rotors are OEM. Only reason for replacement, was the excessive amounts of brake dust within a few hundred miles. Brake Dust was so bad that it was nearly like an oil like fluid all over each wheel. Replaced all 4 with ceramic pads & get virtually 0 brake dust or if i do get brake dust, it usually just blows off with a pressure washer. Rear rotors still look like new with just over 24,000. Dealers sometimes aren't the best choices, just depends on the dealer/service person. I'd recommend replacing the rears with a good aftermarket brand like Centric & decent pads. While the caliper is off, I'd clean the slider pins & grease them really good & look for any rust on the piston. Dealer probably turned the rotors or resurfaced them instead of replacing them.
  17. Maybe someone did the door ajar fix & grounded the circuit so that it wouldn't drain the battery or the other related issues...
  18. Tonight.... Downloading very slowly, but it is downloading
  19. I'm no expert, but sounds the caliper needs to be replaced. Maybe it blew a seal internally when it was pushed back in or a line was kinked during pad replacement. Sucks to buy a new caliper, but that would be my guess.
