The Owner's Manual states semi-synthetic OR full synthetic.  There is never any reason choose semi-synthetic over full synthetic.  However, the Motorcraft (ConocoPhillips) semi-synthetic is a good oil that will provide satisfactory service.

 

Always so much teeth gnashing over oil.

i just am on side of caution turbos run hotter therefore i think full syn is better for them imo

ya book says semi synthetic but heard was better with full syn

have 19 edge sel 15,000 been getting oil changes every 5000 miles first time used synthetic at 10,000 they put in semi blend but from now on want to put in full synthetic whats the difference in using full synthetic then semi blend if im still changing oil every 5,000 miles? i was told only to use full synthetic whats wrong with the semi blend ?

I just bought a 2020 Ford Edge Platinum, now with 200 miles, just noticed the same bucking at low speed (15 mph) worse when cold engine.  Dealer is clueless. Any resolutions out there?  Other than the bucking, I love the car!

Thanks.   

i dont know if you feel the same but when mine di that it felt like i was slipping on wet ground after accelerating from a stop but got worse after 1000 miles and wouldnt accelerate at all in morning took it in found a trans leak though nothing was no ground. my problem was solved

Matthew, can you post the repair specifics?  Were exactly was the leak?  What was done to fix the leak?

 

Would like to provide the info to service department at my next visit.   Would be helpful if they know where to look and how to correct.

 

Thanks.  

i asked guy why there were no leaks to tell where it was leakin he said it could of been blowby which it was goin somewhere else just took it on a trip out of state drives like when i bought it. it would buck at first then as i kept driving it in morning the most i would try to drive and no power couldnt go anywhere then would kick in after like 5 min but it got worse every morning so i took it in

Looking for updates.  Has anyone been able to get this issue fixed on their vehicle?  I just made another call to Customer Care and received yet another CAS number.

i had this problem with my 19 edge no power in morning bucking when accelerating turned out i had trans leak only after 10,000 miles dealer fixed the leak no more problems

As others have said, honestly just stuck to good quality oil and change it, you'll be in good shape. You should have peace of mind knowing you're not using cheap oil.

is the ford motorcraft good quality cause they do my changes

Wow, there is so much misinformation in this thread...

1) Matthew123: As some others have said here, switching to a synthetic-blend oil is A-OK after using full synthetic. Sure full-synthetic is best, but Motorcraft synth-blend is perfectly fine on your Edge.  5000 mile oil change intervals is also perfect - Ford recommends between 5,000 and 10,000 miles (and often just splits it down the middle and says 7,500 miles to make it easier). Unless you are driving under "severe" conditions, changing your oil far less that 5,000 miles is considered wasteful.

 

Modern oils are more than up to the job for 5,000 miles of daily driving.   If you want proof, I have gotten oil analysis done on my '17 Fusion Sport since it was new, as well as my '10 Focus and '14 Edge Sport when they hit their 100,000 mile marks after the oil was used for 5,000 miles (and a lifetime of 5,000 mile OCI's). Both the Focus and Edge have tested well at 5,000 miles on Motorcraft 5w20 synth-blend oils and no noticeable engine wear/materials. And for my Fusion Sport (which runs very hot from factory, and two turbos) does perfectly fine at 5,000 mile OCIs as well (albeit with full-synthetic). Heck, I did a track day with my Fusion last year - I changed the oil before the event, and ran it for 4,000 miles total, and it tested perfectly fine and still very usable. Personally, I say sick with your 5,000 mile changes.

 

2) The ONLY EcoBoost engines that use both port injection and direct injection are the 2nd gen 3.5L EB, 2nd gen 2.7L EB, and 1.5L 3-cyl EB. The current Edge ST and all 2nd gen Fusion Sports (so, up to 2019) with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine are only direct-injection.  EDIT: I started typing this before akirby posted, who is correct.

 

3) Installing a catch can will not "void your warranty". There is no "voiding your warranty". If you have a catch can and take your car to the dealer for an issue, the most they'll do is say "you modified you car, and that modification affected/caused this issue" and ford will void that warranty claim. That is all that happens, with any mod. If you tune your engine, there is no "voiding your warranty" so suspension issues are no longer covered, for example.

 

As for the catch can topic itself, that is (and will always be) highly debated. There are people on both sides with proof to lean either way. Personally, I've never used one and been OK.

i know semi is ok for the edge but just tryin to not have carbon buildup if i can help it.just a peace of mind i guess. and for the catch can im split . i will also stick to my 5000 mile intervals

If it's leaking you'll see it. It won't be a surprise.

 

In the past this was done simply because there was not enough room in the engine bay.

i know this post is old but i bought a 19 edge 9 mon ago and other day i lost power in trans and turned out had trans leak somewhere wasnt on ground either so you cant say you will see it cause i didnt

Yup mine just started bucking and delayed accel at 9500 miles 

turns out i had a trans leak somehow at press port  only 10,000 refilled and torqued now drives like when i bought it. it was bucking and loss of acceleration

Not true, the 2.7 still does not have dual injection.

i dont think 2.0 have em either if you look up 2.0 it shows direct injection

I can't really give an answer. From my readings, there is no clear proof that a catch can will prevent it, nor that without it you'd actually get carbon buildup on EcoBoost engines. But regular maintenance and using good oils will definitely help, especially considering that new oils are getting better to tackle the issue. 

 

Here are some interesting related articles I found searching online if you are interested:

Valvoline explaining there oils: https://team.valvoline.com/diy/truth-behind-carbon-buildup

Oil standards, GF-5 being common & GF-6 about to be available: https://www.oilspecifications.org/ilsac.php. (There is an interim oil, labeled API SN Plus that kind off is between GF-5 & GF-6, Ford has already started specifying it for their vehicles starting 2018 I think).

i do oil change every 5000 miles with the motorcraft they put semi in but i will be going back to full synthetic so hopefully doing it every 5000 will help

As @onyxbfly stated above, the Edge still uses Direct Injection only. The F-150 got dual injection in 2017 for the 3.5 EcoBoost only, then in 2018 the rest also got it. But all other EcoBoost Engines (AFAIK, and as per Ford's website as of today 07/07/2020) are still Direct Injection only, even the new Explorer, which was a clean new 2020 model & the first application of the 3.0 EcoBoost in longitudinal form.

so basically for the edge to prevent carbon buildup do oil change every 5000 miles with  full synthetic or a catch can and hope for the best.

The catch can will help prevent build up! A ravioli can not so much......

ok  well looks like a catch can maybe i wont use a ravioi can

Both engines suffer from the same ailment. But since the pick ups is Ford's bread and butter they rectified the issue...edge not so much. Or rather as they learn from their mistakes they made changes during the MY production cycle. For example the plastic oil pan debacle....Ford rectified it for the F150 and incorporated the oil pan change into the edge 2018+MY.

shoot was hopin it wasnt a problem anymore with the edge now a catch can wont help prevent carbon buildup right? that just filters out all the junk oil right  is there anything you can do on the 2.0 ecoboost that can prevent carbon buildup?

Ford addressed the issue in their 2018-2019 F150s. Possibly the 2017s. The edge engine has not change from 2015. The difference between the Sport and the ST is the tune.

cause the edge has direct injection

ah ok so does the edge engine have the carbon buildup or was it just the f150 that was having the problem

Actually you are correct.  They did go dual injection starting in 2017...which i have to admit im a little jealous since mine is a 16.  But after seeing what a catch can collects instead of it going back into your engine...I'm going to basically put one on any vehicle I buy new from here on!

yup i hear ya

We're not catching oil like your BBQ grill 

i heard ford fixed the problem  for 2017 and newer so you wont need a catch can anymore

Just now, THE_BOLT said:

Also mine is still under warranty...i take the catch can off before I take it in for warranty work just so they can't give me an excuse to void my warranty 

ah ok is it just a can or is it a whole kit i seen kits for like $300 or so. can i just use like a raviolli can

The motocraft semi synthetic is what was made for it so it won't hurt a thing.  Its cheaper to buy your own oil and do it yourself...just make sure to stick with the motocraft oil filter 

ya i get ya but i dont pay anything right now been using ford points for last 2 changes but eventually i will have to they charge about $60 for the full syn change which isnt bad

yup thats the reason i want to do it every 5000, they did motorcraft semi this time but i will be switchin back to full syn  i think, i dont have catch can though as it is under warranty for another 2 years .my oil life was at 44% when i hit 5000 miles

You heard wrong.  All oils are compatible with each other.  Also, if you are going to change your oil every 5000 miles, full synthetic is not necessary.

my dealer recommended every 6000 but im being a lil cautious if i wait for the oil life monitor it will be like 10,000 miles dont wanna wait that long

2 minutes ago, THE_BOLT said:

I don't care what oil you use...I would never take any of them over 5000 miles! 

ya i hear ya people say you dont need to change it until like 7500 miles but with the turbo i dont want carbon buildup so tryin to change it as early as i can
