Looks like 590 CCA - when I need one I'll look to see if a larger one will fit. Its a Group 90 , and the longer Group 48 will fit. http://www.batteryweb.com/bci.cfm Costco has the original size for $90 and $110 for the larger one, with 3.5 year free replacement warranty.

I've done it twice and found that there was enough space to use the nozzle on the bottle and although that's relatively easy to do, I bought one of the hand pumps.

I'm interested to hear from those that know the difference between the models, and whether your PTU would fit other models. If mine needs replacement one day I might look at getting one like yours.

I don't know which models have that cooling arrangement, but can confirm that my 2017 Sport does not.

Post #472 See post #488 of a 2016 Titanium PTU, and it looks very different to yours. If that is in fact the PTU, it looks more robust than the one on the Sport.

See if you can get the part numbers from them and try Amazon where a few dealerships sell parts, and if they have it then it looks like your dealership is giving you the run-around.

That photo shows a plug on the side which definitely doesn't look like the lowest point, unless its the orientation of the photo. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10914-ptu-leak-failures/?p=170489 See photo 5 in post 466 in this thread - that is the Sport PTU and the drain plug facing the floor. Same comment made below.

That's not a low point drain as found on the Sport, so you'll still need an extractor to get what remains after you drain from that plug. I wonder why they did it like that, why not a drain plug as seen on the Sport?

Does the Sport PTU fit - I know it's water under the bridge, but just asking, because it has the drain plug.

Either your definition of driving like a miser is off, or you need to find a new competent dealership to fix it - I get a steady 22 mpg us without driving too economically. I use exclusively Costco Premium. 14.7L/100km = 16 mpg us https://www.calculateme.com/gas-mileage/liters-per-100-km-to-us-mpg

I bought a great 5 gal drain pan, and decant it into my Harley low profile drain pan to cart it off to AutoZone. https://www.autozone.com/shop-and-garage-tools/oil-drain-pan/flotool-5-gal-oil-drain/134895_0_0

I've only done two oil changes, and I think on the second one I unscrewed the filter and left it on top of its housing and the initial oil flow was not as vigorous - I'll pay attention and confirm next oil change.

A few days ago I added to my existing stock of Mobil-1 and oil filters.

What's your mileage and have you ever had the transmission oil changed/exchanged?

Do you apply the same logic to the PTU?

Did you break your foot on the brake pedal? Sounds like Midas are peddling some bad stuff.

I am one of those folks - I have no interest in any third party app, and even if Ford didn't update my OEM maps I'll live with that.

I have a 2017 with Sync3 - I'm in a new subdivision and my road isn't on the map yet. What does Ford intend regarding updates to my navigation maps?

Most likely see a quicker throttle response if you got off the throttle and immediately jabbed it again, but under what driving condition would that happen, can only see it on a stick shift gear change, or trying to impress at the lights with the transmission in Neutral pumping the throttle as seen in the YouTube videos.

Seeing as yours doesn't have a lowest point drain like the Sport's do, it would be best to suck out as much as you can after draining from the plug you have.

There's an echo in here.

Assuming you're thinking of the metal pick tools, I don't use anything like that in fear of scoring the O-ring seating surface - I degrease it and grip it with a sheet of the blue garage paper towel for traction and squeeze it towards one side until it puckers a little, and then its easy to lever it out with a plastic tooth pick or anything like that.

Just yesterday I stocked up using Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000COX0JM/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1TO5NU8UU9MH3&colid=7FQZRUTL8DOG&psc=0 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010QU0SPU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Why was he fired, just didn't make the grade or what? You do have the option of paying an unqualified backyard mechanic for multiple attempts to fix it, or pay the going rate to the dealership for them to really fix it and enjoy the warranty on their parts and workmanship.
