Ford Edge maintenance intervals and details are as follows: 1. Maintenance Intervals: According to the maintenance manual, the first service for the Edge should be performed when the vehicle reaches 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. Subsequent services should be done every 10,000 kilometers. The gasoline filter and cabin air filter should be replaced for the first time at 15,000 kilometers and then every 20,000 kilometers thereafter. The air filter should be replaced for the first time at 25,000 kilometers and then every 30,000 kilometers. The brake fluid and spark plugs should be replaced for the first time at 35,000 kilometers and then every 40,000 kilometers. The automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 55,000 kilometers. 2. Maintenance Details: During the manufacturer-specified time or mileage intervals, the routine maintenance includes replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and gasoline filter.
I usually pay close attention to the maintenance of my Edge. According to the manual, the first service is at 5,000 km or six months, followed by maintenance every 10,000 km or one year. The basic service includes changing full synthetic oil and the oil filter, which costs about 700-800 yuan at the dealership for original parts. At the 20,000 km mark, you need to replace the air filter and cabin air filter, and you can save half the cost by buying them online. The 40,000 km service is a major one, requiring transmission fluid and brake fluid changes, and it's best to check the spark plugs as well. I just had the 60,000 km service the other day, which cost over 3,000 yuan, including coolant and front brake pad replacements. The dealership always recommends carbon cleaning, but if you don’t drive much in the city, it’s unnecessary—don’t get tricked into spending extra money. Remember to ask the mechanic to reset the dashboard reminder after each service, or that annoying yellow light will stay on.
