Hey everyone, total newbie here. My dad and I are picking up a 2021 JLUR-D in a few days and I'll admit that after some preliminary searches I'm not 100% thrilled with the ecodiesel but I'm gonna learn to love it. Not only will this be the 1st Jeep for either of us, but also the 1st diesel.
It's basically going to be his daily driver and my weekend warrior with the Hope's that down the road I can make it a full time off-roader.
My question(s) for you all is this:
My father will only be going 3.8 mi each way to work which is about 10 min with some lights and weekends we'll be taking it on different trips and off road. Should I have him start taking a long way home around town everyday to make sure it gets up to temp and regens as much as possible or would a weekly outing be enough?
I want to make this engine last as long as possible and so far my plan for that is bleeding the separator every 1000mi and oil, filter and fuel filter changes every 8000-8500mi. What additives should I look at throwing in and what's the best way to try and keep everything as soot free as possible since that seems to be the big killer of the ecodiesel.
My apologies for the long, disjointed post but my head has been reeling over this the last few weeks. I've got all my ducks in the same pond, I'll get em lined up better as time goes on.
