perrytime Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Very concerned, here on week 3 of owning my 2012 ecoboost edge, purchased with 8500 miles on it from big GM car lot, had fresh oil change, and I see the oil is down to add mark after just 450 miles, I know it was full when I bought it, and last week i saw it at 3/4 down. So its off to the Ford dealer to see what they have to say. Quite a damper on my enthusiasm over purchase of the most expensive car i have ever bought., by 2x. I have a friend that has been fighting high oil consumption on Tahoe, a fully documented tech bulliten on the issue and dealer is fighting, saying usage is with in limits, just wont do the right thing, No drips, but that big shield, might be hiding something. I am afraid dealer will put me thru hoops of proving the consumption, several trips in for them to check it themselves. Just posting to see if anyone else has had issue and see if anyone has advise.

JK101 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Unusual for an Edge to have oil loss like this. Is this a 1.6L or 2.0L EcoBoost engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightydog Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have not had any issues with oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrytime Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 2.0 engine, more activity with a duplicate post on main edge forum. Dealer showed no prior work for oil issue, next will let them service it, look for leaks, and begin monitoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perrytime Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Okay, I have a new theory, I just remebered, that during the sales process I was shown what service was done to the Edge, namely the oil changed, and I saw they added Zmax. I looked on the web and found it is normal for the Zmax to disapear (absorbed, evaportaed, whatever), and is normal to see levle on dip stick drop first few hundred miles. So seeing 12 ounce drop on the dip stick is 3/4 quart. I though i was down a full quart, but will adimit I might not have been that accurate. May update Oil level remained same for last few hundred miles, so feeling good it it was just Zmax disappearing, SO I topped it off and feel good all is well.
