  1. Thanks! I thought that Redline was expensive ? Motorcraft XY-75W-QL is over double the cost for 1 qt
  2. Owners manual states 75W, but would Redline lightweight Shockproof work? Is going to be by first swap & I already bought some for the front PTU & getting ready for a road trip. Just wanted make sure that it would be OK. Currently just below 18,000. FordTechMakuloco says that it's specific 75W from Ford so I'm not sure if the ol smurf blood is compatible.
  3. Perfectly normal. Just drained ours in our 2016 2.0L Given enough time, you'll see the oil, gunk, gas, water separate
  4. Not trying to thread jack, but I think the OP meant Intercooler....
  5. The above video is for a 3.5L V6. Front of the engine, just below the intake manifold. Look for 2.0L catch can installs & you should be able to find it.
  6. That was one of the 1st things I did on our 2020. I thought that they changed to the single horn in 2019 though.
  7. They didn't make a 2.0L sport. Sports were only made in 2.7L. 2016 to 2018 Sports were AWD ONLY & 2015 Sports were AWD OPTIONAL.
  8. Heat gun required to get the 1 hard plastic piece on the front side off. My bad, it's $23 now ? Vapor Canister Purge Valve 0280142519 Replacement for Ford Fusion Lincoln MKZ 2.0L Turbo 2013-2016 https://a.co/d/a0kc4gz
  9. I consider your description as a chug/miss or struggling to accelerate. Tomato / Tomato ?
  10. After filling up, for a few miles, every time you pulled up to a stop light/sign, it would idle rough & acted like it was going to stall. Swapped the $22 purge valve (non OEM, which I couldn't find an OEM for anything less than $170 + $20 shipping & included extra pipes/tubing) . After swapping, no rough idle after fillup & mpgs are back up to normal range.
  11. No codes, stumbling at idle after fillup & poor mpgs over the last few tanks & cleaned the MAF after the 1st tank I noticed was bad.
  12. Me thinks that the purge valve on our 2016 SEL Fwd 2.0 Ecoboost was starting to go bad at 56,4xx miles....
  13. Did some errands tonight and the auto start/stop worked as it should. My trip mpg, which I reset after every fill up, shows me at 27.3 mpg for this tank ?
  14. My 2020 SEL AWD bought in October 2020 is on it OEM battery. I occasionally throw it on a battery tender from time to time. It's currently ~16,000 miles & sits a lot. I noticed the last few days on drives ~30 - 40 minutes the auto start/stop wouldn't work. In the menu it said that it wasn't working because of system charging. I hooked up my battery tender the other night & let it charge for a few hours & the tender was saying it was @ 75 - 100, which isn't unheard of. Had to take the cat to the vet (regular check up) & disconnected the tender (which was in trickle/maintaine mode) & my auto start/stop was working fine. I guess it helps to charge the battery up from time to time. I don't do it constantly & I know the car adjusts it's charging during due to the battery age & etc., but I'm wondering if it's more of a programming issue to replace the battery sooner rather than later, who knows? Wonder if I should reset the battery monitor & see if the auto/start stays functioning without a top up.
  15. I thought that the only engine choices in 2019 were the 2.0 or the 2.7 Ecoboost.
  16. I believe that you're also limited to a 600lbs tounge weight.
  17. I like how there's not much difference between grades, but you can keep those prices on the west coast. I'd park the car before I paid that much.
  18. Found a newer local gas station that sells Ethanol free gas & it's not much more expensive than premium.
  19. I just remembered something that it also has to be AWD to get 3500lbs, FWD is limited to 2000lbs. I think that it has something to do with bigger brakes & when you take off the weight transfers to the back, so having AWD helps there. All 2016 - 2018 Sports are AWD (2015 they made some FWD versions) & all ST's are AWD. If I could go back in time, I would have bought my 2020 SEL with the towing package so I wouldn't have to install the hitch & wiring, but I have a better hitch & don't have a hole in the bumper. If you want to continue towing near the max towing, I'd recommend changing fluids much earlier than recommended, upgrading your pads & rotors & look at helper springs to deal with the sagging. I bought Air Lift Springs & they definitely help with sagging when towing heavier things or when I have passengers in the back or lots of cargo.
  20. You sure that it wasn't the previous Gen? Because there's no oil cooler or trans cooler part of the towing package for the 2015+ edge. The Sports didn't have a factory towing package & you'd have to go after market for a hitch & wiring, but limited to 3,500lbs. I also have a Curt class 3 hitch & after market wiring for a 4 pin connector. I usually just pull a ZTR, but I can pull a more if I want to.
  21. Picked up some cabinets & tables from a neighboring high school auction. Doing truck stuffs
  22. You don't need to pull the front bumper to replace the horn. I turned the wheel all the way one way (I believe passenger side) & unscrewed the fender liner screws & gives you access to the horn. I may have loosened an access panel in front of the wheel, but I don't remember. I purchased an OEM horn from a 15-18 edge & it was plug & play. Pretty easy actually. Probably 15 - 20 minutes total from start to finish. This guy removed the headlight to gain access, same principle.
  23. Currently sitting ~30.6 on my 2020 SEL. I'm assuming that it'll be ~28 manually calculated.
