  1. Android Auto with Google maps has yet to fail me in 4 years of use. Always up to date and intuitive menus. Have you tried it or Car Play? To make the experience even more seamless I have one of these on order: AA Wireless
  2. I would have seriously considered a Titanium had the 2.7 and the adaptive suspension been an available option group. On the other hand that would have brought it too close to the Nautilus price range.
  3. It has a more robust additive package tailored for higher performance motors. The regular Platinum is more than adequate for your application.
  4. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 in the 2.7 Ecoboost Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 in the 5.0 Coyote Pennzoil Platinum in 5W-30 in the 2.4 Malibu, lawnmower, snow thrower etc. Good products and always readily available and on sale in this area. In the past I used Amsoil Signature Series oil which is also a very good product. Boutique pricing and availability are the main detractors.
  5. Also of note is that SCT provides 5 unlocks with the device. After that they need to be unlocked by SCT (online) for a fee that's basically equal to a new one.
  6. So engine output is just under 10% of transmission rating; a little close for comfort. There are unknown factors at play however such as the GVW rating of the transmission and the safety factor that was engineered into the design.
  7. It appears I jumped to conclusions on the relay based on the manual of my current vehicle which has a separate relay. Here is some information based on the 2013 owners manual which is available online. 2013 Ford Edge Owners Manual Ford - 13edgom4e.pdf
  8. Disconnecting the governor on my Tecumseh powered minibike which led to a windowed crankcase was my introduction to extreme modding. I'm still doing it.
  9. Maybe you should take that "things I hate list" with you the next time you go shopping for a vehicle.
  10. I occasionally fail at reading comprehension ?ā€ā™‚ļø
  11. The relay is located in the power distribution box next to the battery. The relay location is shown in the Owners Manual.
  12. I fill mine with whatever comes out of my air compressor. It's been working well for me for the last several decades.
  13. Mine. It's part of the dealer installed sales gimmicks playbook here in Canada. I've never paid for any of it.
  14. The first thing I remove when I buy a new car are the wheel lock nuts followed by the green valve stem caps.
  15. Montreal Canadians are heading to the Stanley Cup final final.......??
  16. Recently retired after 40 years in manufacturing engineering. Did some pressure die cast and injection mold design work over the years, hence my keen interest in this thread. ?
  17. I'm inclined to agree with jmr061 that it's not routed correctly.
  18. My only experience with the Ford Sony system was with my 2012 Edge Titanium. I found it sounded awful. Removing the center channel speaker (which now resides in a landfill, maybe the car too) resulted in a noticeable improvement.
  19. The exhaust tips in actuality are trim pieces (bezels) that don't make contact with the exhaust pipes. High heat paint really isn't necessary for the application.
  20. I don't spend a lot of time in my car with it not running and the phone stays with me when I exit the car. I think that that applies to most owners.
  21. I just timed it with an illuminated cable. About 4 minutes give or take.
  22. Unleashed Tuning and Livernois Motorsports offer tuning for the Edge ST.
