Changing Oil in Edge
For all the DIYers I have a quick question. We just purchased an 08 Edge SEL AWD and I always do the maintenance on our vehicles but was curious if the edge has a oil drain plug or if you drain by pulling oil filter. The main reservoir leads to the filter and I did not see a drain plug in the area but I only looked under there for a few seconds as we will not need an oil change for a while. Thanks

I bought a Fumoto valve for mine. I can drain by flipping a lever now. Watch out for the hot exhaust pipe that runs right by that drain plug!! I've changed our oil 3 times now and it is a snap. :-jammin |
I don't have an Edge, but my Taurus X has the same engine. The plug is at the very back edge of the engine like Brad said right between the exhaust pipes. I have a Fumoto for mine also which makes changing a breeze. I recommend getting a filter wrench the goes on the end of the filter so you can ratchet the filter off. I ended up going to NAPA to get one for my car. Holy cow they put those on tight at the factory!
