I just got my car back in time for the snow. FORD did me right, But my extended warrenty let me down(Endurance). I had 60,065mi when I went in. They said Ford told them that I HAD 59,999mi coming in and FORD NEED TO FIX IT UNDER 60KMI warrenty. Long story short Ford paid for the PTU and labor but I END WITH $500 CAR rental bill. IT was 2 1/2 weeks rental bill.

Just under the wire!  Glad it worked out!  ..and glad to hear Ford stood by the warranty.

Thanks. yea I have followed the exploit with the gunked up PTUs...

BTW... did you have a tune on?..... just interested

2010 sho non-pp built 11/09 delivered . 4 years on the nose when the ptu was replaced.
the oil that came out of mine lost all its viscosity when i changed it at 30k and was severely discolorated. I replaced it a few more times within a thousand miles till the oil coming back out was clear. Then i switched to Amsoil 75W140 and it stayed clear in the 10K i put on it since.

Power Take Off Unit.  It sends torque to the rear wheels.

Sad part is, this car is still much better than the Chrysler 300 SRT it replaced back in 2010.

That's the good part. :clown:
Lol. They tried telling my father it was the turbos spooling when he took my car in for me :bangin: :bangin: I wanted to reach through the phone when he was telling me what they were saying. Idiots. I'll have to contact my cousin. He's an engineer for Ford. Maybe I'll have better luck with him.

seems like there was a how to thread on changing the PYU fluid including adding a drain plug ?

I'm at 24K miles I plan to change my oil at 30K miles with whatever the recommended oil is....
2013 PP SHO LMS 93V10 tune, 170* T stat, 3bar, K&N drop in, plugs re-gapped, 4in exhaust tips.
UPDATE - 130K miles =blown engine. Unleashed tune and EBPP upgrade turbo billet wheels / Turbo Smart WGA's on a bran new long block. Let's get this SHO on the road !

2013 Fusion Titanium 2.0 EB daily driver ;) - LMS 93 tune and CPE intercooler

I had posted a link to a How-To by the_natrix on the Ford Edge Forum, if that's what you are thinking of.  http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10914-ptu-leak-failures/
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Please use a quality 75w140 gear oil for the ptu. something better than the motorcraft oil. Funny thing is the factory fill on my town cars is good for over 300K but at 30K its BURNT in the ptu. gonna suck mine out and add a drain again and refill with amsoil next oil change. I'm curious to see what it looks like when i get 5k on it.
