Hilton Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have been reading that the 2010 Edge uses an FL500 Motorcraft oil filter. Has anyone been able to locate these in stores or online other than a dealer? If so what kind of prices have you paid for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for the Motorcraft. And yes the 2009 from 01/16/09 uses the same oil filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen several people say they got them at their Wal-Mart. I have checked around here and they don't stock them yet. I will probably go with the Pureolator L22500 till I can get Motorcraft. As for Oil I will use the Motorcraft Syn Blend 5-20 from Walmart, $11.50/5 Qts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping charges obviously changed by zip code..... I'm in the northwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I just buy the motorcraft filters wherever I happen to find them. It's not worth the hassle to me to save $10/year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_m Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Also, not sure if this makes a difference or not, but it may be better if you are still under warranty to buy the oil/filter around the time you actually do the oil change. If you ever run into mechanical issues and you have a receipt from 6 months ago, it may not play out in you favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever run into mechanical issues and you have a receipt from 6 months ago, it may not play out in you favor. It won't hurt, but from what I've heard if there is a mechanical problem that appears to be caused by improper lubrication it won't matter whether you have receipts or not. If you have service records showing the dealer did the service then that might count for something. Receipts only prove purchase, not installation. And it's relatively easy to identify improper lubrication inside the engine. Outside of some known manufacturing defect or defective oil pump, improper lubrication is a customer problem.

I have read this comment several times. :wacko: Sometimes things happen even though we follow proper lubrication [i.e. whatever oil meets Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A and installation of proper filter] Why would someone buy the oil and filter an not install it? I am not attacking you comment, it just sounds odd. Its good to know, but hopefully no one will ever need an engine to be replaced within the warranty. If they do and they followed proper guidelines, then hopefully Ford will do the right thing. Edited January 20, 2010 by k_m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not attacking you comment, it just sounds odd. Its good to know, but hopefully no one will ever need an engine to be replaced within the warranty. If they do and they followed proper guidelines, then hopefully Ford will do the right thing. There are a lot of scenarios: 1 - I bought the oil and filter but used it in a different vehicle 2 - I got the receipt from a friend (it wasn't actually mine) 3 - I bought it but returned it Now if the dealer had service records showing that regular service had been done by the dealer on that vehicle then that's a different story. That would indicate that the dealer did something wrong, not the customer. If something broke in the engine (like the oil pump) and that caused the problem then that will be easily diagnosed and there won't be any questions. If the internals are all sludged up then that is also pretty cut and dried. If you use the proper oil and filter and change intervals the chances are slim that you'll have a lubrication related failure and if you do there will be an obvious cause such as a bad oil pump, leak, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) It is not uncommon for a corner luber to wipe the filter off and not replace it, start the engine before they refilled the crankcase. use the incorrect lubrication products, double gasket the filter, etc. Search the various expose' investigations done by consumer groups, etc. Problems can happen at a Ford dealership also, but they will likely step up and make it right. Years ago, a sludged engine, gaulded bearing, tappet tick, seized engine, etc. would be accompanied with a wide array of maintenance receipts. Some were fabrications and others clearly pointed out that the wrong products were used. Today, those receipts mean very little if you have a lubrication related problem (beyond - go back to your maintainer to see what their warranty covers.) What would you expect Ford to cover if an engine failed due to lack of lubrication? What is the right thing if you run out of oil, your engine is sludged, etc? If you use products that meet the Ford specifications and follow the maintenance schedule for your type of driving you should not have a problem. Many well intentioned owners have been denied warranty coverage because someone didn't do what they should have. I'll keep using the $19.95 coupons at my local Ford dealership.

Never stated I would go to a corner lube. I will do the work myself. What would you expect Ford to cover if an engine failed due to lack of lubrication?

If I let the oil run low, use non specified products, use incorrect weight/kind of oil, do not maintain the scheduled change intervals, etc... then the problem lies on me. If I follow everything to the T , then the problem fall on Ford. I would have no problems going to the Local dealership if they were trustworthy. Since ours are not, I am forced to do it myself.

akirby Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 What we're saying is that if you change the oil yourself and you do it correctly with the correct oil and filter per the recommended intervals - you won't have a lubrication failure so it won't matter whether you save receipts or not.
