Hey everyone, I’m planning to tackle my own oil change this weekend on my 2016 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, and I wanna make sure I don’t mess up the oil drain plug. I’ve heard stories about people overtightening and stripping the plug or even damaging the oil pan, so I’m trying to avoid that headache.
I’ve seen torque specs ranging anywhere from 18 ft-lbs to 30 ft-lbs, and I just wanna be sure I’m using the right number for my specific engine. What’s the actual recommended torque for the oil drain plug on a 2016 Edge 2.0L EcoBoost? I don’t wanna go too light and risk a leak either. If anyone’s done this before, let me know what’s worked for you! Appreciate any solid advice before I break out the torque wrench!
