Nicely done sir 👍😁

FORD NEEDS A TOTAL RECALL 2010 to present.

[@rubendawn7478]

I have an 2021 ST and this units at one time had an oil cooler, mine doesn't have it but has a big cover with a magnet that can be removed and drain the oil easily.

[@nataliecromartie7224]

Nice video lots of info

[@robertrpenny]

Gotta luv that Redline gl but Valvoline might last for a few months.

[@ercanural439]

I bought the 2.0 diesel 211 ps st line 10 days ago.. I am very happy.. but I don't know if star stop has been cancelled. The normally green emblem does not stop in gray and red skids. Why do you think the engine continues to run?

[@dustyb9359]

Also used in mazda units

[@wish2fish37]

Did you just pump fluid in till it came out of fill hole or pump the 12 ounces in.

[@justoenamigo]

Did you use a thread tape or gasket for the plug

[@krisjustkris7970]

I have a Ford 500. Would they be the same PTU? I'm just wondering if i can use your measurements or if i would have to remove mine to find a good place to drill.

[@Af_4600]

Hey Bill, I’m concerned about the PTU in my 2010 Edge AWD. I have 180,000 on the original PTU and the fluid has never been changed. I want to go ahead and change my PTU and Rear Differential fluid, but I’m concerned that I’m too late to that party. I don’t hear any grinding or groaning at speed.

[@MACTFordEdge]

A gear oil test will let you know your status. Never hurts to change the gear lube.

[@robertcox5228]

Awesomee. Shame on Ford for not adding a drain plug. Is there any change to procedure for 2022 edge st?

[@MACTFordEdge]

The ST uses the AMR PTU with magnetic clutch totally different PTU

[@robertcox5228]

@@MACTFordEdge thank you for the info. Does this amr pto require serv8ce. Can't find it in the service recommendations in manual. Thank you again R9bert

[@MACTFordEdge]

@@robertcox5228 This is NOT an AMR PTU.

[@alexeyperdomo5770]

I have a 2019 Ford Edge ST and I changed the Ptu fluid with a suckling pump from the refill plug! No problem! I put original oil motorcraft

[@alexeyperdomo5770]

@Helicopter Dad! sure!! Drill up yours and post a video!!!

[@ourv9603]

OR, if you want to make sure it is done right, buy DORMANS PTU. It has been redesigned beefier with better cooling & comes with a drain plug. $850. !

[@robertrpenny]

Nice job maçt, looks like a factory install.

[@joshuagomez3600]

Ford is a prick for not putting the drain plug on there to begin with.. Their engineers HAD to know this would be an issue lol.. $$$$$$$. Good vid.

[@hikerfam8099]

Anyone else use the stainless plug on the recommendations above have any issues? Anyome else use a different plug?

[@darkstar119119]

Did you ever find more info on different plugs that work well for this PTU? I'm tempted to use the one in this video, but I'm wondering if a "standard" pan plug that has a head and a washer/o ring will seal it better??? Anyone have thoughts or recommendations here?

[@hikerfam8099]

Nope still haven't done it

[@patrickthurs5342]

The sidewall of the casting is not that thick. I would not do that.

[@MACTFordEdge]

Then you are not aware that this is a standard practice and performed by thousands with no failures. By the way for started doing it also. Research and facts. Opinions are merely background noise.

[@darkstar119119]

It's about 1/2" thick. Seems plenty thick to me. I feel comfortable doing it to my own vehicle.

[@robertrpenny]

That's a lot of junk for 3000 mi. What are they making them from?

[@MarvFitBikesKicks]

It’s also a brand new ptu so you’re going to get a lot of shavings your first couple lube changes

[@krisjustkris7970]

Why wouldn't Ford have changed the PTU's by now to already have a drain plug? Just think of all the extra money they could make if Ford owners had to have the PTU Oil changed every 3000 miles. The way it is now, of course Ford considers it "non-serviceable" claims the oil never needs to be changed. At least the Ford Dealership in our town claims that and because its "non-serviceable" they will not change the gear oil in it. I suppose they want the big bucks to install a new one once ours destroys itself.

[@cm1133]

Was that a magnetic drain plug you installed? What type PTU is in the Bronco Sport 4X4
