I work in automation and program machines for a living... This said I don't trust the computer. I change my oil every 5k miles. (The factory oil was removed after the break-in period.) I haven't gotten to the 2nd oil change yet (10k). I just think it is cheap insurance for a long engine life. Remember the manufacturer and dealer only care about getting you through the warranty period without issues. They stay in business by selling cars, if they last too long they don't sell as many.

MPG readings
JKUS 2013, Auto - after seeing this thread, just looked at mine and was shocked - I had to take a picture.. So far bone stock on suspension and tires, but I follow tire recommendation rather than Jeep on pressure (a trick I learned in my Hummer).

Just over 11,000 miles and so far just a leaky freedom panel that was fixed and a vibration in steering wheel at 60+ MPH. That was fixed also. Turned out to be the way my stock exhaust was installed. They ended up loosening the exhaust system and letting it settle and then re tightening and vibration was gone.
3.73 gears and a 6 speed and I average about 20 city and 22 highway.

And it's monsoon season in the panhandle. I think I'm just a little ticked that this is our third jeep. First one to ever have any problems. First a fuel line leak, then ac compressor went out and in Florida we need that year around. And now the soft top as leaked from day one.

I dont use that reasoning.. im on my 4th JK now (havent had it in the rain yet).. my previous 3 didnt leak.... come to think of it most my TJ;s didnt leak either.. from what ive seen though theres quite a bit of variance in the tops themselves.. my jeeps havent leaked however I notice each one that the top is a little different to operate as far as which zippers go in easy, some are harder to get latched etc.. i think theres just a large threshold of whats acceptable coming out of bestop..
