Repair/Claim Coding Causal Part: 6675 Condition Code: D8 Service Procedure CAUTION: 2015-2017 model year vehicles are not compatible with the press-in-place gasket oil pan. Installation of the press-in-place gasket oil pan results in engine damage. 1. Remove and discard the oil pan and oil pump seal. It is recommended to allow the crankcase to drain overnight to prevent contamination of the engine sealing surface. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01. NOTE: Cleaning and preparation of the engine sealing surface is critical for proper adhesion of the new oil pan. Improperly cleaned and prepared sealing surfaces results in an oil leak. 2. Thoroughly clean the engine sealing surface using Motorcraft® Silicone Gasket Remover and a plastic scraper. Allow the gasket remover to set for several minutes after application to aid in removal of the RTV sealant. (1). The engine block skirt stiffener sealing surface must be clean and free of any residual RTV. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or rotary tools of any type on the engine sealing surface. These tools damage the sealing surface including scratches or gouges that create leak paths. A second application of Motorcraft® Silicone Gasket Remover may be required. NOTE: When cleaning the engine sealing surface it must be wiped clean using a lint free cloth. Spraying the surface with brake cleaner and air drying does not adequately remove the oil and other contaminates from the surface and may leave residue from the brake cleaner that may interfere with RTV adhesion. 3. Use a lint free towel and Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner to remove all residual sealant and oil from the engine sealing surface until a clean lint free towel no longer shows any residual oil when wiping the surface. (Figures 1-2) (1). Use only Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner to clean the engine sealing surface. Some unapproved brake parts cleaners contain chemicals that inhibit RTV adhesion or may evaporate without removing all of the residual oil from the sealing surface resulting in a repeat leak condition. Figure 1 Figure 2 NOTE: Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo and Degreaser removes residual brake cleaner which can cause RTV failure and prepares the surface for the Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes. The use of any other brand engine shampoo or engine cleaner can compromise the sealing surface and lead to failure of the RTV seal and a fluid leak. 4. Use Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo and Degreaser to clean the surface of any remaining oil contamination and prepare the surface for the Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes. Dry the surface with a lint free towel. NOTE: Do not use Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes on the replacement oil pan. Using Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes on the oil pan contaminates the treated oil pan sealing surface causing reduced RTV adhesion and a potential oil leak. 5. Wipe the metal engine block skirt stiffener sealing surface using Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes. Thoroughly coat the surface with the fluid. Discard the wipes after a single use. (1). Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes create a conversion coating providing an improved base for RTV sealing. The wipes use a water-based, slightly acidic solution that etches and bonds to the metal providing a microscopic layer for the RTV to adhere to. If the surface is oily, the solution beads and the surface is not properly treated. If the solution beads when applied to the sealing surface, clean the surface again and reapply the Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes. (Figures 3-4) NOTE: If the sealing surface or an area of the sealing surface becomes contaminated after it has been prepared, use a lint-free towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol to clean the area. Prepare the area again using Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes. Figure 3 Figure 4 6. Allow the surface to air dry for approximately 2 minutes. (1). Do not dry the surface using any other method. Attempting to dry the surface may result in sealing surface contamination that may cause oil leaks. 7. Install the new oil pump seal. Refer to the WSM, Section 303-01. NOTE: The oil pan must be installed within 10 minutes of applying the RTV. 8. Apply a 4.5 mm (0.18 in) bead of Motorcraft® High Performance Engine RTV Silicone to the new oil pan. The RTV bead must be applied to straddle the step chamfer and sealing face. (Figures 5-6) (1). Using too little sealant may result in oil leaks and using too much sealant may result in oil contamination and engine damage. Figure 5 Figure 6 9. Apply a 9 mm (0.35 in) bead of Motorcraft® High Performance Engine RTV Silicone to the engine front cover-to-cylinder block joint areas on the new oil pan as shown in Figure 5. 10. Install the new oil pan. Refer to the WSM, Section 303-01. PDF download link... TSB 22-2181 - 2015-2017 Edge 2.7L EcoBoost, 2016-2018 MKX 2.7L EcoBoost + Other Models - Oil Pan Leaking.pdf Good luck!

Odrapnew Report post Posted January 12 I have an appointment for next Monday for oil leak along with the shifter recall. I noticed oil on the oil pan when I changed the oil last Spring. I should have stopped with the oil change and had it fixed, but decided to finish the oil change. Since the oil was fresh, I wanted to wait as long as possible to get fixed. Mine is a 2018 CPO. The comprehensive CPO warranty is up on Jan 18th, but I think this would fall under the drivetrain warranty anyway. On a side note, it was good I changed the oil when I did (~5k miles). When I pulled the oil filter out, the media had some tears along with the inner liner being cracked. Dealer was the last one to change the oil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odrapnew Report post Posted January 26 Update: Got my Edge back today after being at the dealer for a week and 2 days. Dropped off on Monday, Jan 16th at 7:30am, picked up yesterday (25th) evening. Recall took a few hours, but they didn't get to diagnosing the oil leak until the next day. Then they had to order the part, which was supposed to be in on Thursday, but was 'delayed due to weather'...we did have some snow, but not a lot. Next, the tech assigned to it was sick and then supposedly got into a snowmobile accident over the weekend and service advisor was out on Monday. So, finally, on Tuesday (24th), they were able to tear it down, install pan and let it sit overnight before refilling with oil. I was able to borrow my dad's truck for most of that, but eventually the dealer gave me a loaner (for a whole day). Out of pocket = $0 so at least that's good. The worst part is the minimal communication. A courtesy call or 2 would have gone a long way, but I was hounding them for updates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
