I have a 2015 JK with 110,000 + miles on it. Yesterday i noticed while i was driving around town, it sounded like the A/C fan kicked on. (the outside temperature was between 40-45F) I looked at my temperature needle and the needle was 3/4 of the way over. (normally it is halfway when the engine is fully warmed up) The A/C fan brought the engine temperature back to its normal position and i didn't notice any other problems. I stopped at the auto parts store and noticed that the reservoir for coolant was low, so I added ready mixed coolant to top it off. When i drove my Jeep later, the temperature would rise, then the fan would kick on and bring the temperature down. This happened probably 5 times during the hour I drove. I was wondering if this is the thermostat or the water pump getting ready to go. The Jeep produced heat no problem. I do not see any obstructions on the radiator.

You better hope the ready mix coolant was the right stuff, if not it won't mix with what you have in yours and will solidify and plug up your system.
It was OAT compatible. Probably going to have the thermostat checked out just in case
