Well I'm not concerned with Ford's definition of what "lifetime" is.Fluid will be changed every 30k. What I am concerned about is what I can to to keep the PTU cool.

Sorry, double post.

Right. I was thinking of the same issues. I am willing to hear inputs before I buy anything. I will be changing the fluid out, and make it regular maintenance.
I would like to see if there is anything else I can do to help prevent heat transfer to the PTU

Hi. Great that you joined. What trim level is it?

I have heard that Ford claims lifetime fluid in the PTU. I know this is BS. My idea is to clean out my PTU as best I can with 4 fluid changes in a week, then change fluid every 30k. I was wanting to wrap my exhaust with ceramic wrap from the cats to the first flange. Hopefully this will reduce heat transfer which is what I understand "cooks" the oil in the PTU.

I am interested in making my Edge Sport sound better. It actually runs more quiet than my friend's Edge. Her Edge is a Limited and I'm actually surprised at how it burbles and has a raspy punch on acceleration that can be heard from outside.
I have been listening to many exhaust clips and I honestly like the sound of the Mustang 3.7 with Borla Type-S mufflers. I am curious if there would be any way to make them fit.Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I'll see what I can do. It says that my files are too big to upload.

Hi guys and girls,
I'm John, I just picked up a new to me 2011 Edge Sport. Tuxedo black, 64,100 miles. AWD. No leaks anywhere.
I am a Ford technician so I know all about Fords.
My plan is to fix the door latch that went bad, replace the left valve cover, do a full 60k service, and service all the fluids in the AWD system.

Brian at BSG Automotive just said to change it. Then change it again after 10-20k miles. Then every 30k miles after that.
