I went with the Amsoil SVG 75w85 in the PTU. The guys on Bobistheoilguy said the 85w would run ever so slightly cooler than a 75w90. And it makes sense to put a better than factory fluid back in. Theres a big Gear Oil Test thread where they test all the popular 75w90 gear oils on the market and the Amsoil came out on top of everything for the most part. Flash point, 4-ball wear, etc.

Keep in mind the ST is "full +1 quart".

Get the Bilsteins. The front left should be in stock soon or Summit may even have a couple. The front right is usually in stock. Rears always in stock.

Its ok theres only like 8 people that still drive our cars I believe LOL.

Since the 2019+ ST's call for 75w85 has anyone tried the Amsoil for a decent chunk of miles? https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-severe-gear-75w-85-100-synthetic-gear-lube-svl/ That is all!

How have you liked switching to Amsoil from the RP?

What ever happened?

Costco - easy to return

Engine/transmission mounts?

@Haz Sir might you have a part # print out for 2019 Edge ST front strut/shock/dust cover/strut top/bump stop/etc ?

PN: K2GZ-7A010-M from thread -

I confirmed with Bellevue Ford tech that their service manual says the same about adding 1L once full to the 2019+ ST.

Changed the fluid in the 2019 Edge ST today. 45k miles on it, fluid looked a touch red still and didn't stink. No metal shavings. TFT up to ~185 Drained 4.7 qt / 4.44 L Added 5.28 qt / 5 L per FSM TFT up to >185 Pulled leveling plug and drained .68 qt / .650 L out (until fluid dripped down side of case) Added 1.05 qt / 1 L after leveling plug back in (??? its what FSM said so I did it ..) No idea if I was low to begin with but I followed the FSM exact. 2022 Edge ST Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill (2).pdf 2019_edge_transmission.pdf

If it helps anyone doing this themselves, I'm able to monitor transmission fluid temp (the TFT PID) using the MXLink obd2 bluetooth connector.

Heres from the 2019 Edge ST FSM. This one is a little easier to read than the 2022 one that was posted in the other thread. Both have you adding 1 quart at the end, after you install the leveling bolt for the final time. The 2022 one posted has more info on going through gears though and is not mentioned in the 2019 one. 2019_edge_transmission.pdf

You dont really have to worry about how much fluid the RDU takes if you can get the vehicle level. Just pump it in until it runs down the case and its full.

Can confirm the 2019 ST FSM says the same thing. I'm getting ready to do my first fluid change at ~40K and will follow the FSM exactly.

I never understood swapping out a BOV/DV unless it's leaking or can't hold the boost it's seeing etc.

Use OEM bump stops or cut them for B6 with HR springs? I'm looking to install new suspension on my ST because my rear shocks are leaking. New OEM front strut tops Bilstein B6 HR springs What else should I get?

The new Livernois tune seems to shift pretty well. At least a lot better than stock.

Got around to installing the SP-542 (.028 gap). Interesting the OEM plugs on my 2019 that I removed are in fact SP578 CYFS12YPT. They didn't look great at 45K miles. Idles and drives maybe a little smoother. A few notes from the install - As simple as it was a screwdriver popped the plastic clips off Ford's favorite 8mm nut stud. Otherwise they were not fun. Before the intercooler pipe can be moved, the blow off valve/diverter valve dump tube needs to be removed. It's a PITD. I used a spray bottle with some really really hot soapy water and it came off a lot easier. Once you get the intercooler pipe / air cleaner outlet pipe moved left (passenger) of the wiring harness it becomes more easily moveable. Once the pipe is to the left of the wiring harness, it makes sense to secure it with something (zip-tie, wire, tie-down, shoe-lace, or even duct tape like I had within reach). Now there's plenty of clearance for that coil. Was able to fit my CDI (1501MRMH) 1/4 torque wrench on every plug. 133 in-lbs / 15 Nm / 11 ft-lb

I have a set of SP-542 I found in a box from when I bought the ST in 2019. 6 years later I'm getting around to installing them 😅

I will take my advance and some more psi as well please 😁
