rjburer Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I have a 2015 Ford Edge Sport AWD with a 2.7 liter Eco-boost engine. How long should the necessary procedures take to replace the oil pan? If the pan is plastic, should it be replaced with a metal pan? Thank you. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Apr 25 2018 6410 - 2014-2019 Various Vehicles - Equipped with a 2.7L and 3.0L GTDI Engine - Oil Pan Leak. Some Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with a 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines may exhibit an oil leak from the engine oil pan RTV seal. Replace the oil pan by performing the published Workshop Manual (WSM) service procedures. After removing the oil pan, it is suggested to allow the crankcase to drain overnight to minimize the chance of residual oil contaminating the crankcase sealing rail. Remove all traces of old RTV, clean the engine sealing surface with only Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner then wipe with Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes, and allow to air dry as directed in WSM, Section 303-00, RTV Sealing Surface Cleaning and Preparation. If possible, after the new oil pan is installed, allow the new RTV sealant to cure for 4 hours before refilling the engine with oil. Ford is investigating this concern. Monitor OASIS for future updates. Just to replace, between 2-3 hours. But following the Ford procedures above .... I'd call local dealer and get a quote. Metal with gasket is probably better, but you'd probably pay double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
