Does your Edge get it's temp data from the OBD port?

Yes, I believe most if not all the monitors get the info from the OBD II port.

General consensus here seems to be oil cooler replacement. many have tried a oil cooler flush with varying degrees of success. It's worth a shot before digging into it I think. There is a great PDF and thread in the tech folder if you haven't read them:

That 18 degree spread is clearly too much. I don't think it's about to blow up on you but it looks like its time to fix it. See the quote from the Ford TSB in the first link I posted and make sure conditions are exacty right when getting your temps. The Cooler Kit can be gotten for somewhere around $200 (IIRC) not counting coolant, oil, oil fiter etc. If you are handy with tools it can be changed at home in a weekend. I think the dealerships are getting somthing like $1,100 local shops a little less. Good luck!

Thanks Rusty. I read them a few times. Soon as I can get a weekend off I'm going to do the thorough flush with the Restore & Restore Plus. The 2 Fumoto valves in the block. Then backflush the pieces individually with hot hot water. Add a Dieselsite coolant filter & think Im going to go with the CAT EC-1 ELC coolant. Not sure yet what to do because I do have a 3yr/36K extended warranty & the cooler would be covered I'm pretty sure.

Suggest you bring it in to them then.....

and document it well - make sure the service order states exactly the symptoms so when they say 'working as designed' you have some recourse after it fails
