Extremly high milage on an extremly rare 2009 jeep liberty

[datķatt]

I now have 288,061 original miles on the original motor and transmission of my 2009 jeep liberty

That’s super cool. When the engine or transmission finally goes, just pop another one in and keep driving it.

What's the secret to keeping it going so long?

What's the secret to keeping it going so long?

Keeping up with the services like oil changes and transmission fluid & filter changes, for sure. Never letting it overheat and thus be more likely to drop valve seats. Speaking as the owner of an 08 KK with 228,000 miles. Also, just fixing little things when they break, so that it continues to be a fun vehicle to drive. I'm a big fan of low mileage Mopar parts from the junkyard for non-powertrain part replacements.
