Try contacting Sirius - when I opted out of renewing XM radio after the free 6 month trial, they confirmed that the 5 year free traffic was still active.

No worries, have no issue with your decision not to engage in debate on an open public forum.

Couldn't find much on that - just this: American Axle (AXL) to Deliver AWD PTUs for Ford Crossovers

It sounds like you don't know the answers to those questions, but have nevertheless come to the conclusion that nothing has been done. The changes that I'm aware of are increased oil capacity, cooling fins added to the casting, air scoop, oil temperature sensors, .......... and there may be more. Ford didn't broadcast those changes as far as I can tell. Have you read any reports here of failures on the Gen-2 ?

I've been using a good quality, reasonably priced, full synthetic, readily available oil for 30 plus years with amazing results, and no doubt would be saying the same if I'd made Amsoil my choice of lubricant.

Asking that question, and later comments suggests that you're assuming that the PTU remains unchanged from the Gen-1 Edge. Just browsing this forum I have noticed that the latest generation has seen changes to the PTU.

Of course you're free to express your personal opinions, but just from the time I've spent on this forum I get the impression that a large majority here are happy owners and most would likely buy another Edge, or any other Ford model. I'd certainly buy another Ford Edge Sport, or ST. Before buying, I get some guidance from forums etc. and that's what I did prior to buying my 2017 Sport, and just like any other manufacturer, there's negative posts, some rants, ...... but I've learnt to garner the truth in between all that. Bad news travels way faster and wider than good news, and we are all old enough to see through media hype. Now that you've decided against a Ford, what are you considering?

More likely a ridge worn in the shaft by the grit that was attracted by oil from the first leaking lip seal.

Thread necro to report that the other LED signature light now has water trapped inside. Has anyone else had issues with these LED's and water ingress?

I don't doubt the quality of the product, but with so many other good quality products freely available at good prices, the effort to buy Amsoil isn't worth the hassle for me.

The media has "poetic license" to sell any story as fact without controlled scientific testing.

Not directly below the air cleaner. See attached photo - its under the pipe below the red dot. Going to be a helluva task to check it with the engine running and hot.

Thanks. My owners hand book is up to date then. I need to figure out a way to extract more from the RDU.

This past weekend I did a 480 mile trip in 85 degF ambient and the JLT catch can collected a few milliliter of what looks and feels like reasonably clean oil. As can be seen in my prior posts, I was very skeptical, but with this evidence I can confirm that the JLT catch can does work, and would most likely work even better in lower ambient temps.

2017 Sport with 28K miles. Today I did a lube service, changed engine oil, PTU and RDU. I've done a few PTU oil changes, so its expected that its oil still looked very good, and the first oil change on the RDU, which also looked good (yes I know, its way early for t he PTU and RDU). I had to extend my oil extractor using a small silicone tube, but still got less than a quart out of it, and it took just less than a quart of Red Line 75W90. The owners manual states 2.4 pt for the RDU - is there a special technique to extract more? Also, the manual lists the PTU capacity at 11.8 oz , and I add about 85% of a quart jug.

Anyone checked this pipe on theirs? Mine with 27K miles is bone dry.

Welcome. Looks great - I see a few minor differences to the US model such as the fog lamps in the signature LED's on the front bumper and the turn signal on the wing mirrors. And the wing mirrors fold in, for the tighter parking that you have that side of the pond.

Did you contact Ford Corp.?

Update: My backrest cooling no longer works on my 2017 Sport.

Took a look at my seats today, and it looks like I already have the intake sock installed, so wonder what the dealership would do if I took it in for a warranty repair. The picture shows the sock protruding from the bottom of the backrest. I recall clearly that the seat and backs cooled very efficiently when I first bought the Sport, and now only the seats work. @tmarsh were you able to restore the upholstery to look as new without baggy or loose sections?

Question: To assess whether the JLT catch can will work on your vehicle, pull the short hose off and inspect it internally, visually and with a Q-Tip, and if it is bone dry would that be a sign that your driving style does not require a catch can in this location?

Thanks for all your info - I'm just finding it hard to spend $100+ to correct a problem on my vehicle that's still under warranty.

I believe its another casualty of the recent forum update/upgrade, as reported here: https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/24544-since-the-forum-updateupgrade-the-recent-topics-is-not-updating/

You know what they say about assumptions,....... Where are you getting you information from to guide/steer your assumptions? I'm keen to hear what the difference is on the AWD vehicles.

Each time you should completely fill it to the normal level (the fill plug hole), and the number of short succession refills at about 100 miles would depend on the state of the oil that you drain.
