I found out that an AMSOIL EaO 26 oil filter will fit the engine and it will add almost a quart of oil to the system.

Pre fill the filter prior to installation.

If you intend to use an EaO 26 filter get the filter cap wrench which will make installation and removal real easy.

The filter has been on for about 1000 miles.....NO LEAKS

WOW ! what motor are you using this on? a 2.0 ? thats a 2 qt. filter used them on my fe stuff in the 60's.

bringing up an old thread.

snap on has sockets, impact and standard that grip the whole nut, no just the edges . 

they work great for thi application !!

Follow up, I just received my order and I can confirm they are the same lug nuts for the Ford Edge. So if you need a set of 5 or more OEM lug nuts, buy the Ford Performance part M-1012-M.

dont these have an overcap too?

Yeah, I guess it might help you see bambi as you hit it. If you are going at speed that high beams longer reach matter, then anything that happens in the fog light realm is either not gonna happen or you will see it happen.

 

I guess it has been a long time since I have had to watch for critters, and when I did my cars had the old school glass "sealed beams", which have the same output as current interior lights, but I found it distracting on the interstate as well as dirt roads and 45 mph rural stretches of road.

 

I do use my fog lights 99% of the time, on my older Fusion it fills some large dark areas while in the neighborhood, and on my 2019 Edge it smooths out the million of small shadows from the LED headlights. I only get flashed when I have a load in the back, fogs on or off.

they help light up the ditches on the sides of the road. im surprised the hid's are pretty good .will still

replace the bulbs with night stalker osrams. worked better than stock in my 13 limited . ordered the download from

4d tech. dont have forescan. will raise the lamps just a bit.

do you leave all those plastic closeout that are underneath the late model edges,? i live in

the salt belt of illinois. my 13 had only 2 that ran along the rockers. my 20sel hides everything.

went to change the oil and couldnt figure out where i was gonna put the hoist arms. probably not gonna

put  the engine undercover back on. suck more heat away. do they think we are gonna save that much in mileage? 

just my rant , what do you guys do with all that dirt and snow catcing plastic crap?!!

i spent ov4 45 years fixing deer hits. wanna see both ways.. have used it on 5 vehicles.

i know its not legal but does anyone run their foglamps with high beams ? ive been doing

this for years with my trucks and mountaineers. makes a heck of a difference in visibility

at night. my 20 sel is the first edge with fogs. i dont have forescan but there is a download from

4d tech. im not computer savvy and am old so a lot of stupid questions will be asked. had a 13 limited we loved.

should have kept it. thank you ! irv

ps- the f150 guys have always called this mod--bambi mode.

just trying to see what you use in these motors. ive been using valvoline advanced in my other stuff.

have a 16 F150 with a 5.0di motor too. nt trying to start an oil thread ,but had heard maybe pennz ulta

platinum 5-30 might be a good choice for intake valves. thanks for any help. damn ford for taking away the 3.5!!

was wondering if you can use 87 octane in the turbo motors. they call the 2.0 a premium fuel motor.

was think about a 19 or 20. maybe rethinking keeping my 13 w/3.5. what do yo guys run. hope i could 

post this here. thank you--irv

I think that the 2.7 is a better engine than the 2.0, but the 2019 Edge 2.0 fixes the biggest issue with the previous 2.0, the coolant intrusion issue. It does add a different cooling failure, EGR cooler leak, but that is much cheaper to fix if it happens.

 

The ST does have a beefier transmission, I don't know of any known issues with this first year (2019) 8 speed, either the 8F35 (2.0) or the 8F57 (2.7).

 

I also have an older 3.5 powered vehicle, and switch between it and the 2019 Edge with the 2.0. I still like the 3.5 but it is in a lighter AWD car. The GTDI engines are addictive, just for normal performance and mileage if driven right, but have that extra power on tap if you don't mind the fuel mileage hit.

 

I would have loved a 2.7 powered Edge, but not the ST larger wheels or blacked out trim, they are not my style. I guess a Lincoln MKX/Nautilus would be more my speed with the 2.7 but too much of a premium cost over the Edge.

 

 

i really like my 13 and am wondering ,after reading all the problems, if i should kee what i have. cant get 

chrome wheels anymore and i dont like anything with blackouts. im old and old school. not even gonna gain much in mileage anprobably more problems than i want. been a ford guy all my life, but im startin g to lok at some gm sus's.

have a 13 limited 3.5 that has given me NO problemc in 89000 miles. thinking about a 19

titanium , but hate 4 cyl motors, and havent read alot of good about the  2.0 reliiability .

would i be better off with an st with the 2.7? dont need the performance, but drivtrainwise would i have more piece of mind ?

thanks for any input. irv

I use these:

 

Ruthenium HX™ Spark Plugs - NGK Spark Plugs

LTR6AHX ?

what do you use for long life and best usage? motorcraft, ngk-platinum, iridium ? thanks for any info.

can a 820s filter be used on a 3.5 ?  would give a little more capacity. gasket size 

and center threads look the same as a 500.

will ford bring out a navigation card beyond the A10 ? anyone know when it might be ?

thank you !--irv

installed the nightbreaker bulbs today. will find out in a little while while if they are worth it.

i didnt know the low and high beams are controlled by a shutter system till today,

when i heard it. i have a can am spyder rts with this arrangement. will have a verdict tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up! I have the 6000k CBI version.  The CBB gets better reviews than then Nightbreakers! 

 

They're not blue at all.  As of the moment they are the brightest that Osram has to offer!

did you find the cbi bulbs better than oem ?

the only specs i found was on a review. low and high beam specs listed

cool blue- 720 and 1320

laser 1310 and 1610 

havent found a good enough price to switch yet.

when i have the h/ls out i might try shimming the left one out just a little to the left

just an fyi-sylvania is a part of the osram network. some of their bulbs are actually osram.

 Osram CBB D3S bulbs will be the best upgrade for your OEM HIDs.  Give them a shot first.

not really wanting blue tint bulbs. the lasers seem to have far better specs, especially on low

beams.

easy job

Ford put them there for a reason.  I am assuming it is to smooth out air flow underneath the vehicle and possible keep debris from flying up in there.

 

I have seen tractor trailers with long plastic panels that prevent air flow from entering under the side of the trailer, so I believe that every little bit helps MPG.

my thought too, but i live inthe snow, rust capital of America. its called nw illinois. it gonna catch and collect a lot of

crap that you cant reach from the car wash. have to take one off and see. i only have a midrise lift at the shop

instead of a 2 post , so i cant look in from the middle.

i have a 13 edge limited  with the xenon factory h/l's[d3s] have them adjusted as good as they can get 

per factory adjustment[up and down only] . would the night breaker laser ds3's be any better. im not going

to try any exotic setups, just am reading the lighting upgrade specs on these bulbs. thanks for any

input.--irv

I think he's talking about the "tire spoilers" in front of the rear wheels.  Their purpose is to direct air away from the moving tire and yes they do make a small difference in fuel economy.  Probably not enough difference that you could ever reliably measure, but over the life of the car it would add up to a few gallons.

no, im talking about the long plastic runners along both rockers [around 5 feet long held in by push retainers. 12-18" wide.almost like an underbody closeout.

some one must have seen these under their car.

any auto parts store should have them . i buy them im box of 50 . i get the mid length  for

most of the jobs at the shop.

Leave them on. They have a purpose and that is to keep road debris from being thrown.

not for aerodynamics and mileage ? how about snow and salt gathering in the winter?
