Owners of other Ford and Lincoln vehicles such as the Escape, Expedition, EcoSport, Flex, Explorer, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Mustang, Taurus, Ranger, Transit Connect, F-150, Endura, C-Max, Kuga, Mondeo, MKZ, Navigator, Aviator, Nautilus and Continental may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A few compatible replacement oil filters with their part numbers include the following: Bosch 3330, Fram PH3614, Wix 51348, Purolator PL10241, Motorcraft FL-910S, Royal Purple 10-2835, Mobil 1 M1-102 and Ford BE8Z-6731-AB.

The EcoBoost 2.0 liter turbocharged inline four cylinder engine's total capacity specification for an oil change with a filter replacement is 5.7 U.S. quarts (or 5.4 Liters) of SAE 5W-30 oil.

The tools and other items needed to complete this procedure include a floor jack, two jack stands, a 7mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet, a 15mm socket with a 3/8" drive ratchet, a used oil catch container, an automotive funnel, a Lisle 63600 oil filter wrench (optional) and 6 U.S. quarts of new oil.

Note - To remove the under engine cover or "skid plate" on earlier model years, you may need a Torx T30 star bit screwdriver instead of a 7mm socket.

The first steps are to warm up the engine for a few minutes, park the SUV on a level surface, turn off the ignition and shift the transmission into park.

Warming up the engine will help suspend any contaminants within the old oil and also allow the old oil to drain out more quickly.

Engage the emergency / parking brake and place wheel chocks on both sides of the rear tires to prevent the vehicle from moving.

The next steps are to open the hood, twist off the oil filler cap in the counterclockwise direction and partially remove the oil dipstick an inch or two.

Carefully raise the front of the vehicle with the floor jack and securely support it with at least two jack stands.

Please do not solely rely on the floor jack to support the SUV.

Slide under the front of the car with the 7mm socket, a 1/4" drive ratchet and a plastic pry bar tool or a flat head screwdriver.

Some of the screws were missing on this 2017 Edge.

Remove the screws by turning them in the counterclockwise direction with the 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Set the screws aside in a safe place.

If you have en earlier model year Edge, you may need a Torx T-30 star bit screwdriver instead of a 7mm socket.

Use the plastic pry bar tool or a flat head screwdriver to gently pry out the smaller rectangular center part of the fasteners to release them.

Lower the cover and slide it out of the way.

The oil drain bolt is located at the rear edge of the oil pan.

The oil filter is located in front of the oil pan.

Loosen the oil drain bolt by turning it in the counterclockwise direction with the 15mm socket and a 3/8" drive ratchet.

Be careful when you remove the oil drain bolt.

The old oil might still be hot enough to burn your fingers depending on how long you warmed up the engine.

Spin out the oil drain bolt the last few turns by hand.

Allow the old oil to drain out for at least a few minutes or until the flow slows down to just an occasional drip.

Clean off the oil drain hole with a paper towel.

Spin in the oil drain bolt a few turns by hand in the clockwise direction to prevent it from becoming cross threaded.

Tighten the oil drain bolt in the clockwise direction with the 15mm socket and a 3/8" drive ratchet to just past hand tight.

It would be best to use a torque wrench to tighten the drain bolt to the service manual specification of 21 lb-ft of torque (or 28 N-m).

Carefully slide the used oil catch basin forward to just below the old oil filter.

If you trouble removing a stubborn or stuck old oil filter that was over tightened, use a Lisle 63600 oil filter wrench.

Dip your pinky finger into some new oil and lubricate the rubber o-ring gasket on the new oil filter.

Allow the old oil to drain out from the filter receptacle for at least a few minutes.

Carefully spin on the new oil filter in the clockwise direction.

Tighten it to about 1/4 to 1/3 turn past finger tight.

Do not over tighten the new filter.

Over tightening the filter may cause damage to the rubber o-ring which could result in an oil leak.

Double check that the oil drain bolt and filter are tight before moving on to the next steps.

Line up the skid plate with the underside of the engine bay.

Make sure the two black plastic fasteners are in the released position with the smaller rectangles fully extended out.

Carefully lower the SUV from the jack stands by using the floor jack.

The EcoBoost 2.0L Turbocharged I4 engine's total capacity specification for an oil change with a filter replacement is 5.7 U.S. quarts (or 5.4 liters) of SAE 5W-30 oil.

(If your Edge is equipped with the EcoBoost 2.7L turbocharged engine or the Duratec 35 3.5L V6 engine, the oil capacity is 6.0 U.S. quarts or 5.7 liters.)

Insert the automotive funnel into the oil filler port.

It is much better to run an engine with less oil than necessary than to overfill it. Running an engine that has been over filled may lead to sluggish performance, damage to seals, gaskets or other components.

I recommend only pouring in about 5 to 5.25 U.S. quarts of oil at first of the 5.7 quarts total capacity.

Start the engine and allow it to run for at least a minute or two to distribute the new oil.

Turn off the ignition and allow the new oil to drain back down to the oil pan for at least five to ten minutes.

Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean with a paper towel, fully re-insert it and then pull it out again to check the oil level.

If necessary, slowly pour in more of the oil and repeatedly check the level on the dipstick until it reaches the upper metal hole in tip of the dipstick.

You may not need to pour in the entire 5.7 quarts of new oil in order to reach the "MAX" line.

Replace the dipstick and tighten the oil fill cap in the clockwise direction until it is snug.

To reset the intelligent oil life monitor (or "meter"), follow these steps: 1. Use the information display on the steering wheel to choose the "Settings" menu option. 2. Choose "Vehicle". 3. Choose "Oil Life". 4. Press and hold the "OK" button to reset the oil life meter to 100% remaining life. You should see "Reset Successful" on the LCD screen.

Be sure to write down the oil change mileage in your vehicle's service records.

It would also be a good idea to check your driveway, garage or parking spot for drops of fresh oil during the next few days since they could indicate a loose oil drain plug or a loose oil filter.
