I would not recommend adding water to the battery due to the fact that water freezes in cold temps, which kills the battery cells thereafter.

Not quite as simole as that.

Anyway, we are only referring to topping off, not replacing the entire contents.  If we are to do a complete replacement, you are correct, we would need the appropriate electrolyte mix, not plain water.

They are finally covering the 2009-10 Edge, after almost a year of arguing with them!  Great news, hopefully they will have replacement tanks at the ready this time instead of impounding the vehicles that fail inspection.

Luckily, my '07 passed inspection, but there are a lot of other owners who were not so lucky.  I copied over your link to the Edge forum, and that will give them some comfort knowing their voices have been heard   Yeah, salt trucks ...

I found a great price on Chevron fuel system cleaner on Amazon.  Z    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00092893E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_4&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER  Personally like to add a bottle to every oil change.  Z

I have always used Amsoil or Redline motor oil on my car,the past few oil changes switched over to Penzoil ultra and purchased two cases because of the lower sale price,recently had an appointment at the dealer and found a great on Penzoil platinum 5 quart jugs and ordered two,(link below)took five days to come,(out of stock)went to the dealer with the two 5 quart jugs and MC-fl500s oil filter to find out that 3 quarts were leftover from that one jug which was in the trunk,leading me to believe that the tech probably thought they were gallon jugs and put a total of 7 quarts all together,guess lesson learned if you do bring your own oil for the dealer to change MAKE SURE its a simple case of oil which has 6 EXACT quarts needed and makes life easier for everyone,lesson learned.  Z     http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ELHNM3K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00     Luckily have my topsider oil extractor which does come in handy in sutuations like these.  Z  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001445IZ8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

Good you were able to rectify their error in short order.  Could've been really bad for seals!

Are these the oils you are using, Z?  Noack on Platinum doesn't seem as good as the Ultra?
