2016 Ford Edge with 2.0L turbo oil pressure sensor replacement

[ctechbob]

Do you know what was different?

I didn't think they started cross drilling the 4 cylinder until very recently - like last year?

2019/2020 I think. I know the 2.3's from 2019 on are cross drilled pretty sure the 2.0's were as well right around that time.

From the TSB, looks like a running change in 2019:

There’s a link to the maintenance schedule in the FordPass app.

there is a link but it tells you nothing! The only thing it suggests replacement for is cabin air filter and engine air filter at certain points. Everything else just says 'inspect'....nothing about plugs, trans fluid, coolant, brake fluid, front and rear diff service..nothing even mentioned about oil and filter, unless it's assumed you'll do that at your 10K mile 'inspections'!

My question is peripheral to the topic, but I have a 2024 Maverick on order with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. Are the known major issues fixed with this 2024 motor?

After doing hasty research, I am looking at recommendation that my Daughter buy a 2024 edge.

Daughter texted me and asked if a 2023 Range Rover is dependable.....

She then asked what mid-sized SUV are good? I told her that if she loves the Edge, this is the last year of the Edge and if she sits tight she likely can get a very favorable deal on a 2024 Titanium Edge.
I also mentioned that if she bought a 2024 Toyota Highlander, I would sleep well at night never worrying about her having car issues.

Why not recommend a Mazda CX-5, CX-50, or something else in the same category?

But to keep recommending Fords after everything you've read...

Daughter has a "buy American" thought process, and she really likes her Edge.

I don't know what the solution is for Ford. Hard to fix an organization and give them a "call to arms" with the profit Ford makes on its F series truck lines. The F series detract from the significant challenges Ford appears to have as a whole. I remember when the Escape and Explorer where top sellers in their respective categories. Ford doesn't sell and entry level sedan, or any sedan for that matter. Ford full size SUVs appear to me significantly less reliable than their GM counterparts.

Again, it just boggles my mind why anyone buys Fords with their long term historical issues.

This 2002 F350 with a V10 gasser and a 4.33 rearend has towed a gooseneck cross country numerous times, and is ready to haul a gooseneck cross country today. Very dependable and parts are readily available.

This 22 year old pickup rock solid and ready to work today as it was when the truck was delivered new. Ford's product problems today are addressable and hopefully Ford will have a leader that can provide guidance, direction, and motivation to build the toughest and most reliable trucks on the road, as Ford had done for decades.

Both you and I know how bad it is when you have to say those words about a company.

Ford has not addressed their quality control In a better part of the last five years- that's a fact.
I was told to " buy an F150" from my family. I caved. The 10 speed was a total piece of unmitigated garbage. Lost lots of money on that truck when I got my Silverado . I just arrived at 10,000 feet elevation with my travel trailer. ( Leadville, Colorado). 98 degrees- 9,000 foot elevation mountain passes, 183 transmission temp, the Silverado was a beast.

The engine should be solid, make sure you maintain the 8F35 and PTU on a regular basis.

The PTU will be solid with regular maintenance, the 8F35 remains to be seen whether it has been updated for long term use.

My group had one of these, or very similar, as our project truck from 2002 to 2013 - 2002 F350 6.8 l V10 gasser, though I'm not sure about the rear-end gearing.

It provided good service over the years. Fleet took it back with c. 250K km on it. Highway miles, often towing a heavy flatdeck with three quads , in the early years, and later on lots of short trips around town and lots of idle time in cold conditions.

From fairly early on we had to add a litre of 5W-20 between oil changes.

All service was at a nearby Ford dealer, and we followed 5000 km intervals until Fleet pushed that out to 8,000 km.

It was a good truck which never let us down.

I used to have to add oil regularly on this truck, until I discovered the dip-stick full mark is erroneous in the 6.8L 2v V10. When the oil is full, the oil level is just above the "add oil" mark on this engine. Filling to the top of the full on the dipstick, for me, resulted in a loss of oil of about quart.

Once someone informed me to fill the oil to factory specs, not to the top of the dipstick, the oil consumption went away.
