FAQS
How often should I change the engine oil in my Ford Edge?
The recommended interval for changing the engine oil in a Ford Edge is typically every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. However, it’s always best to check the owner’s manual for the specific interval recommended for your particular model and driving habits.
What happens if I don’t change the engine oil in my Ford Edge when the notification appears?
Failure to change the engine oil on time can result in engine damage, decreased performance, and decreased fuel efficiency. Over time, the engine oil can become contaminated with debris, which can clog the oil filter and reduce oil flow to critical engine components, leading to increased engine wear and tear.
Can I ignore the “Change Engine Oil Soon” notification and keep driving my Ford Edge?
We don’t recommend ignoring the notification and continuing to driving your Ford Edge. The engine oil plays a vital role in lubricating and protecting the engine’s moving parts. Delaying an oil change can lead to more significant problems and potentially costly repairs down the road.
I hope this tutorial has helped you successfully reset the oil life and clear the “Change Engine Oil Soon” notification on your Ford Edge. If you are unable to reset the oil life notification light on the first try, repeat the steps. If you are still unsuccessful, contact an authorized repair center to perform the oil reset.
