Oiled filters seem to be bad if they have extra oil on them. I've used my AFe Dry flow within a couple hundred miles of ownership on my 2020. While driving around with our baby in the back while mom was at target, got 35 mpg for 20 or so miles. I'm averaging around 26 mpg depending on traffic & winds (been pretty strong here lately) Your MAF should be located directly after air box on the tube. You'll have to push the connector down & 2 screws hold the MAF to the tube.

Alot of oil in Air charge tube 2017 2.0
lildisco replied to DrivingofftheEdge's topic in 2.0L EcoBoost
I get that smell from time to time. I believe that my smell is from the oil cap tube as that has a more direct access to the air than the other hoses. There's another can from JLT I believe & they also smelled. Turned out to be the hoses & they offer free replacements to people who purchased the kits from them. -

Do you remember how clean the intake was? Maybe it was residual stuff from prior to the catch can install? -

Time for a catch can & possible valve cleaning! Get some throttle body cleaner & go to town on the intake tube. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
lildisco replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
everywhere I look the K&N VF2050 Cabin Air Filter is around ~$40. Not terrible, guess I'll wait for a coupon or a sale as I have around 6 months left before I need to change them out again. The weather stripping has gone up quite a bit in price as the driver side is ~$90 & the passenger side is ~$60. We'll see how the lower stripping holds up & then I'll look into replacing the arches if it gets too dirty back there. -

Changed the cabin air filter in both the 2016 & 2020 today. The '16 was as filthy as it usually is, the 2020 wasn't as bad. Guess I'll continue to change them twice a year. Once in the spring & once in the fall. On a side note, the 2020 didn't have any screws to lock down the filter housing like the 2016 does. Guess it's another thing that saves a few bucks per million vehicles made. Also changed the weather stripping below the doors on the '16 as well. Much more weather stripping & drain holes in the weather stripping. Supposedly, it's the upgraded version that Ford came out with after all the complaining on the bottom of the doors on the 2015-18's. Drivers Side part # FT4Z-5820759-B ~$30 Passenger Side part # FT4Z-5820758-B ~$20 -
Your 2017 edge awd 2.0 typical gas mileage?
lildisco replied to jsaylor's topic in Owner Impressions
All depends on driving style. Our 16 Fwd 2.0 gets around 20-23mpg when the wife is the primary driver & 26-29mpg when I'm the primary driver. I've gotten 33mpg on road trips as well. Our 2020 2.0 AWD gets around 24-29mpg & I'm the primary driver. The 2020 is slightly different with a few more gears & auto start/stop technology. Mainly what I'm trying to say is that you can get a ballpark figure, which could be low to mid 20's, but it depends on many different factors like fuel quality, driving habits, tire pressures & car maintenance. Fuelly.com is a good source for mpg's, but you don't have all the data to get the facts.- 1 reply

On our 2020 AWD Centric Premium Blank Rotors on all 4 corners & Centric Ceramic Pads on all 4 corners. finished painting the caliper brackets while everything was off. Put Anti-seize on the bracket & hardware to make live easier down the road. Did they make a change for rotor size? I guess the 2019+ AWD versions get a 345mm Rotor while the FWD versions get a 315mm rotor. I understand that the AWD version is heavier but I don't remember seeing that difference on our 2016 when I did the same thing. EDIT: just re looked up the parts & they do make a different rotor. Guess I didn't pay attention....??? -

I can confirm that the 2020 rears are also screw in style -
anyone have real world experience with Pre-Collision Assist?
lildisco replied to ben senise's topic in Lounge
I've had it alert me several times for people that whip out in front of me to turn into a side street or a driveway. It'll beep rapidly & the left side cluster will say pre collision warning, but no action has happened. I think that it's hyper sensitive for my tastes, but for the average driver it's probably OK. -

lildisco replied to fordedgenashvilletennessee's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
On my 2016, it's not compressed, it needs to be turned to get the piston back in. Believe that there's a special tool that will make your life easier. Looks like a cube with different extensions on it to fit in the piston & ratchet it back. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/lisle-disc-brake-piston-tool-28600/25961363-p?product_channel=local&store=6997&adtype=pla&product_channel=local&store_code=6997&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9M240eiD7wIV1YtaBR0DgQ6wEAQYASABEgJkYPD_BwE -
If you wanted to add hood insulation, you can add that too. The engine cover isn't too expensive if you wanted the proper one.

Service Charging System Now
lildisco replied to Nick Halstead's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
What about resetting the Battery Management System? -
I use it quite often. I LOVE driving & it can be a hinderance when the lines aren't marked clearly, but it's there to keep you in the lane. I don't have the audio notification, I just use the vibration notification. I think that it would help people use their turn signals more than they would. It's not a replacement for paying attention to the road, but it's a nice tool to have. Used it on a trip from Ohio to Florida & back & was very nice to 'relax' a bit while on those long stretches of highway.

sounds like your A/C drain tube is clogged. Had this happen on my In-Laws CX9 a few years ago. I'm not exactly sure where it's at on the Edge, but On the CX9, it was on the passenger side, by the exhaust, behind the heat shield. All you need to do is to stick up something kinda hard, but some what flexible to stick up the drain tube & clear the blockage OR used some compressed air & blow up the tube.

Letting you know that your headlights/parking lights are on. Only way to turn off, is to turn off your parking lights/headlights. -
2016 Ford Edge Intelligent Access
lildisco replied to Teresa30's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
I'm only aware of pushing the power button if the radio is off & then using the touch screen to get what source you want. If you're using the FM/AM radio, then the < & > button & the right rotorary dial will change the stations. -

No. Red light on the door where the old style pop up lock would be for the door -

lildisco replied to Teresa30's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
You have the key on you while you're opening the door. It's supposed to do that. Look for a red light where the old lock plunger head would have been. That will let you know if the door is locked or not. If you want to try what you're doing. Lock the door, set key like 10 feet+ away from your edge then try to open the door(s). -
