It can be predicted by you driving style and climate.
answer these questions:
a) How many miles driven per month
b) average speed
c) daily distance driven
d) daily hours driven
e) Longest monthly trip - other than commute
f) daily Ave. time idling for warmup
g) Average ambient temperature during commute

Pay NO attention to the dealer "recommendation".
Read the Contract.. If it has unreasonable clauses just forget it if you didn't pay for it;
But insist a prorata refund if you DID pay for it.
Was going to buy a contract for my 2014 Nissan Rogue with a CVT, but in the fine print it didn't cover the CVT or even most engine parts.
Worthless.
Our "Free" Lifetime Engine service contract does not cover gradual "wear out" of parts.
Now there is a loophole big enough to fit a Circus Elephant through!
Who underwrites this "extended service contract insurance" ?
Good luck,
