I can tell you this, after doing this just once I'm going to run over to my local guy and see if they can put a drain plug in there. The guy in the video put it in the exact right spot, and it'll be much easier to drain in the future. All in all not a terrible job, but I like to try to do things...

do not Know if anyone is doing this on their edge, but I have just drained the fluid. I preformed the service using ramps. This makes it easy to access, AND about 85% of the fluid came out. I pumped the rest out, and according to the 2011 manual it is 12oz. I measured a plastic bottle in...

@ Stockrex You are correct. I am trying to do a 3xs with about 100 driving between to swish the fluid around. I can tell you it was pretty black when I drained it. Now I am working on the PTU fluid...that is a whole different situation. YUCK indeed.

Thank you IveBeenRued. I have been looking at Amsoil and the recommendation from MacT on Red line. Both are recognized as top-tier oils I know. Really want to try to get this done in the next couple of days, and I'm not sure I can get those oils locally. Likely have to order them. I did see...

I've heard of this and appreciate you providing a link to a video that shows it. I love to change fluids and do the maintenance, but on this I may actually refer this one to my local mechanic who I trust. Just because he has a lift and this might be easier to install a straight angle. Thank you...

I would definitely encourage you to check this out online. The dealerships, and their mechanics have stated this is a one-and-done fluid. At least they used to. And some of the later models I believe 2015 and later they even put a drain plug on it acknowledging that it needs to be done. I'm very...

Thank you Lotl, I have watched his videos and he's a very very helpful. I started thinking this morning before I crack into it tonight that being up on ramps it may push that fluid back to the fill area. I'm not sure if this has to be done on an even surface. If anyone knows this for sure let...

Thank you for the encouragement. I just want to put the best, most temperature resistant in there because I don't want to have to do it more often than I need to.

Thanks cpayne5 I do not have the luxury of a lift, and I'm finding that it's likely the same setup. I was over the moon tonight when I finally figured out how to get my hand up to the fill plug. Still haven't cracked it open I'll do that tomorrow. This is likely one of those things that once...

2011 Ford Edge. Did it Monday. Manuel says good for 150,000. I don't think so. Filter in the transmission, and was never changed (100,000 miles) doing 5 more quarts of OEM Motorcraft LV tomorrow, then again Saturday.

This may have been posted, but I thought I would take a crack and see if I had anyone out there who can give me a solid answer. I am changing the PTU fluid in my new to me 2011 Ford Edge. For those not familiar this is a huge engineering error. They shrouded the AWD PTU in heat (exhaust...

Wow, Thank you all for the information. I appreciate all of the perspectives and data sheets. As a side question, since some of these are licensed by ford but they are not Motorcraft Mercon LV, could you do the standard 5 qt drain and add with the synthetic ATF to the transmission fill without...

Hello everyone. I've looked at a lot of the threads on BITOG but never posted. I recently purchased my cousin's used Ford Edge that runs great. It has about 100,000 miles, though, and I don't think he ever changed the transmission fluid. I know that the stealership will do it using the...
