While I'm in no rush to replace my Nautilus I can see myself buying something along the lines of the upcoming Ioniq 5 N as a potential replacement for both the Lincoln and the Mustang. Seems like it could handle the utility and performance aspects of those two vehicles and leave some extra room in the garage. I don't do extended trips so EV is not an issue.

I replaced my 4 stage UPR oil separator with a J&L (formerly JLT) oil separator. The UPR was a good design but poorly executed with badly machined O-Ring grooves, thus it was constantly leaking between the reservoir and body. I proactively replaced the UPR separator on my other car as well. The newly named company is still owned by the original owners of JLT. Top notch quality and after sales service.

I only have SYNC 1 to compare it to and IMHO SYNC 3 is light years ahead of it. Can you offer up some specifics as to why you feel it's worth less than a pack of gum?

Welcome aboard.

Out of curiosity have you been maintaining them with a proper leather cleaner and conditioner? If not you'd be surprised what a good product can do to rejuvenate the leather surfaces. I have been using Leatherique for many years. The stuff is amazing. Avoid the discount auto parts products. They do more harm than good to the leather.

pax seat......lol. Automotive terminology would be helpful.

Thanks for posting your findings. Looks like a straightforward procedure. I'll be doing the same next year and will reuse the bolts and O-ring as well.

Because of the membership, this is the best Ford Edge forum. For the most part I don't have any problems logging in or with navigation.

Unfortunately a lot of the members there are butt nuts. A small clique of current and retired Ford employees.

Windshield replacement is high on my list of dreaded situations to deal with.

My laptop spools up quicker than the time it takes to login to this website. It's that bad.

A work of art. My Lincoln still wants one :)

Spackling paste is used for repairing cracks in drywall or plaster. What you need is auto body filler compound (Bondo). I would start by perusing YouTube for tips on what to use and how to use it.

Indeed.

It takes at least 1 turn to get it to start draining. You using just your fingers to turn it? Don't be afraid to use more force to break it loose.

You're probably right on that. I'd just clean them and reinstall them with a touch of blue Loctite and call it a day.

Reminds me of a noise I had in my Chinese MT-82 6-SPD right from new. Redline MTL toned it down for a couple years but it gradually got worse. I was finally able to make an accurate diagnosis shortly after adding the supercharger.
