We can list a ton of things to do for making it last a long life, and some of us can list enough to put your bank account upside down so pick and choose whats most important.
how extreme is your use- all roads, easy off roading, water crossing, etc.?
idk metric off hand, but these engines are super sensitive to overheating- it’s #1 killer. I a d a few others live in southwest America which is our hottest area. So we give up a tiny amount of fuel efficiency for lower operating temp in the name of a few moments of added safety for the engine. We prefer to run at 180f. Factory is 195f and best fuel mileage (like 3% better) at 210f watch the temperature gauge more than the road. At 220f pull over and let it idle back to normal.
