I have followed the Xtra V3 build since it's inception and it is with profound sadness to hear that he'll be no longer building the air-box.

I purchased my V3 last year and I continue to be impressed every time I open the hood. Dealer tech's eye's are immediately drawn to this "masterpiece".

I hope all is well and I would like to say thank you for your time, patience and fortitude for building a product that no-one else would.

Happy motoring!

I have a 2016 Edge Sport that I bought new that now has 62K on it.

I've never changed the PTU oil so I thought it was time.

I'm fortunate bc the drain plug and fill plug are very accessible and I didn't need to remove anything to change the oil.

I drained 22 ounces out so I added 22 ounces of Amsoil 75W-140 Severe Gear oil. 

I'm a little confused bc my owners manual says to add 12.8 ounces. 

So whats up with that?

Has anyone experienced this?

 

Now I decided to change the PTU oil on my daughters 2019 Edge Titanium 2.0L

Her Edge was purchased new and I'm changing her PTU for the first time also.

I drained about 12 ounces out. so I put 14 ounces back in. Ford calls for 12.7  +/- 1.7 ounces in her Edge

 

Decided to crawl under my daughters 2019 Titanium and add some more oil to the already 14oz. I added the other day. It took about 3ozs before it started coming out of the fill hole so I guess 17oz is all it'll hold.

It has to be a much smaller PTU than whats in `16 2.7L

2020 owners manual 

 

My daughters 2019 Titanium 2.0L calls for the 75W-90 and my 2016 Sport 2.7L calls for the 75W-140

Thanks everyone for your input.

How much did you put in?

 

Safest is to fill until it trickles out the fill hole.

 

There's numerous reports of errors in the listed quantity.

 

Since I drained 22oz out, of my `16 Edge, I put maybe 23-24oz back in. 

I thought 11.7 was too little gear oil for a case that size.  

You'd think the Ford Owners Manuel would be accurate but I'm starting to wonder.

I don't want to overfill it bc I'm afraid of aeration.

I only was able to get about 10oz out of my daughters `19 Titanium 2.0L. I put about 14oz of Amsoil 75W-90 Extreme back in but I'm thinking of adding an additional 8ozs. (she purchased new and the PTU oil has never been changes)

The owners manual states 23.7 fluid ounces for the Sport (2.7 EcoBoost). Where did you get the 12.8 ounce capacity?

 

2019+models have a different PTU , it can disconnect the rear drive shaft to save fuel when AWD is not required. 

I got the 12.8ounces off the Amsoil website. My owners manual says 11.8 fl. oz. (2016 Edge Sport 2.7L)

I put in the same amount that came out.

I ordered the Rotora BBK all around on my `16 Sport back in 2019 and I will say this, outside of the brakes on my `20 gt500, these are the best brakes I've ever had a on car/suv. They have the best feel for a street drive vehicle you could ask for. I have no regrets.( modification needs to be done in the rear for servo clearance)

The stock brakes don't come close to these what so ever.  When you wanna stop in a hurry, hang on because these get the job done, period.

Pricey yes but if your looking the ultimate brakes for the Sport/ST, this is it.

I must also add, one downside of this kit is, when needing replacement pads, rotors or hardware, your stuck going to Rotora and there not cheap.

Finally got around to installing my V3  CAI on my `16 Edge. 

I must say, Extra did a fabulous job designing and assembling this air box. The location and alignment of the latches and rivets, are perfect. It fits like a glove in an area thats not very forgiving. The directions were spot on and to my surprise, the assembly came with a CAI sensor. 

I haven't driven it much but I will do a full assessment soon.

Thanks again Extra, excellent job!

(It's a shame that the small entrepreneur is being snuffed out due to Uncle Sam's lust for control, I feel for ya Xtra)

I might be interested. How much is the V3 (minus filter and flex hose) and will it fit a `16 Edge Sport?

Thanks, Steve

I'm sure there is a weep hole in your muffler allowing moisture buildup a place to drain.

It appears to me that it's moisture mixed with exhaust gases causing that discoloration.

I've been following this forum for couple years and I really liked the BBK that Xtra is using. 

After going back and forth whether to invest in a brake upgrade, I finally bit the bullet and bought the kit from Rotora. Loren was great to deal with and the kit comes impressively complete with every single part you'll need to install these bad boys. (including the rear E brake servo)

I installed it last week and even though there was some modification of the rear knuckle required, it was certainly worth the time and money.

After properly bedding the brakes, I put a bunch of miles on it and there is absolutely no comparison to the factory brakes.These brakes are impressive. 

The only thing you need to worry about now is someone plowing into the back of you.
