Acura TL

[Holden]

Read your owner's manual.

Honda puts special break-in formula engine oil into new engines now. You should probably not change it until 3000 miles.

I work at an Acura Dealership in the Service DEPT.
the first service for an 02 TL is 7500 miles.
as far as the trans fluid goes, change it or flush it every 30,000 Miles.
did you get an S

I looked into selling my Accord and my Teg for a CL type S, but no 5 speed, so no sale. I do think that the TL is sharp, but for me, its gotta be a stick.

Good luck to ya.

I ended up with a 2002 TL. I am in love wit this car..it's soooo comfortable Still in the break in period so I guess it would be good to change oil early (1000 miles?)..How about transmission? Also, how do you change transmission oil on a TL? (automatic)

time for the automatic pro. me. hahah. to change your oil u just get to the bolt towards the front passengers side under the tranny. unscrew that and let it drain. pull the tranny dipstick and put in a long tipped funnel and fill it up according to the manual.

Sorry to disappoint you guys. It's just a regular TL. It's not really the car I wanted. I planned to get an MDX but there is a waiting list (90 days?) and you pay sticker price which is about $6K mark up. I ended up with a TL..probably will drive it around for a couple of years and give this to my mother and get a MDX. The price should be a little more reasonable by then.
