How many liters of engine oil does the Edge require?
1 Answers
The Edge 2.0T requires 5.5 liters of engine oil, while the 2.7T requires 6.5 liters. The Edge uses Ford's specialized engine oil, with the original factory specification being 5W30 semi-synthetic oil. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the Edge's engine oil is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Pour the new oil into the engine through the valve cover oil filler port, typically filling about three-quarters of the oil bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If any leaks are found, repairs should be made. After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to ensure the oil level is within the standard range.
