How many liters of oil does the Edge require?
1 Answers
The Edge uses 5W-30 engine oil, requiring 5.5 liters. Engine oil viscosity changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both 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 vehicle. The latter number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C - higher values indicate better ability to maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance in high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Ford Edge is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back to the oil pan; Loosen the oil drain plug with a wrench, collecting the old oil in a container until no more oil flows out. Then start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow oil in the main oil passage to drain; Remove the oil filter with a specialized wrench; apply some oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, typically filling about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Run the engine for 5 minutes and check for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If any leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, remove the oil dipstick to verify that the oil level is within the standard range.
