The 2005 WH 3.0crd I own is just about to clock up 380,000km and still doesnt use any oil in 10,000km oil change, even towing 2.5ton caravan. Fuel use is still good too, even when towing the van. No bloody DPF to cause dramas, tows the van like a champion,just love it.Opps off topic a bit, dont know why the globe is H11 on ours, think the US model is 9006 and 9005, and on the WG 2.7 crd I have they are 9006 and 9005 as well.

Thank you so much for the clarification. I'll cancel the 24 hour care.
I've owned mine since 2009. It may not have all of the bells and whistles of todays 4WD's but overall it has been remarkably reliable. 4 batteries and 3 sets of tyres.
Occasional electrical problems the only issue. The CRD is untouched except for a repair to the turbo speed controller last year. I've bought a new one on eBay as Jeep will only sell the turbo complete at $9,660.
After a year the ETC warning light is coming on again and I am hoping that the new turbo speed controller will fix it.
At 203k kms I had been wondering if I was pushing my luck so I am very relieved to hear of your happy 380K kms.
Cheers.
