Well it is a 2015 and was Certified (for whatever that is worth), but we ended up getting service contract (i know there are a variety of opinpions about those) so I can take it and see. It for 6 years 75K miles so have time. As stated if I didn’t have the ultra gauge connected to the OBDII port I wouldn’t even be giving all this a second thought as the needle barely moves.
I checked the radiator and reservoir tank, both where they need to be. Went 4 Wheeling again yesterday. Elevation was between 4,500 up to 7,600. For a good portion of it I was in four low temps stayed around 210 and under. When back on the road depending on gear and incline it would climb to 226-228 but drop right back down again. I’ll just be keeping an eye on it.
I will say that Rubi is a beast! Up an incline and moderate size rock crawling it moved along like it was nothing. My sister even made a comment “This Jeep is much better then your old one (1987 wrangler). The biggest challenge was picking the right line to not hit the underside. I did a few times but the skid plate I installed seem to be working really well and cover basically all the engine, transmission, and transfer case is protected.
