Replying to: sweeneydj (Oct 28, 2009 11:31 am) FORGET THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANING "RIP OFF!" and not necessary. Also go to Autozone pay $6.50 for some Fuel Injector cleaner "Prestone" and put it in your fuel tank when you fill up next at the pump. Takes two seconds and save your self the $150 bucks!

#1195 of 1202 Caliper Lubrication New TSX by cariocatsx Nov 14, 2009 (4:12 pm)
I am planning to purchase a TSX . When I asked to a ACURA Sales person about the maintenance costs he said that every year I will need to pay $120 for brake cleaning and caliper lubrication, beyond other costs. Have you heard about it ?

Replying to: cariocatsx (Nov 14, 2009 4:12 pm) Hi. I have a 2006 TSX, which I love, and I don't recall ever having this maintenance done. I have the oil changed every 5K miles (free dealer with my purchase) and, otherwise, just do what the maintenance minders tell me to do. This has been of minimal cost. It may be different for a new model, so would probably be useful to get a hold of a manual yourself and see what those reminders are...

Replying to: deleko (Nov 14, 2009 4:21 pm) Tks for your quick response. I just downloaded TSX's Owners Manual at https://techinfo.honda.com/ and will look for more info. Replies to this message: deleko (Nov 15, 2009 7:03 am)

Replying to: cariocatsx (Nov 14, 2009 4:12 pm) Your salesperson has no idea what he/she is talking about. You don't need to clean your brakes and lubricate your calipers every year.

Replying to: cariocatsx (Nov 14, 2009 4:12 pm) I am in total agreement with the other posts. I own a 06 tsx. It will be 3 years old on the 17th (bought it new). It now has almost 95,000 miles on it. I get all the maintenance done by the acura dealer-they have cleaned off the brakes but I did not have to pay for it. When I had my tires rotated they would do it.

Replying to: cariocatsx (Nov 14, 2009 4:37 pm) No worries. I am definitely not the most mechanically inclined person, but have found my previous Honda Accord and my current TSX to be reliable and easy to maintain. I do remember, though, that it was difficult to figure out the exact sequence/cost of services from the manual due to the maintence minders.   The other things that comes to mind, is to try another dealer and ask to speak to the sales mgr. If they don't know, they are in big trouble. And since you are on Edmunds, did u check under the true cost to own function? Under model info. That is probably the most unbiased report.   Good luck!
#1201 of 1202 TSX 120k service by sergeye Dec 02, 2009 (10:52 am)
My mechanic recommended the following at 120K service for my 2004 TSX: - replace valve cover gasket - adjust valve clearance - switch to synthetic oil - change automatic transmission fluid - change coolant. - change brake fluid.   I have been following maintenance manual so far. It does not mention replacing valve cover gasket. It says "adjust valve clearance only if noisy". Any thoughts on that?
#1202 of 1202 synthetic oil for 2004 TSX? by sergeye Dec 02, 2009 (10:54 am)
I have 120k on my TSX. I have been changing oil and filter every 10k. Used regular mineral oil, as per owner's manual. Oil stayed clean and was not burnt till the end of 10k. Mechanic recommends switching to synthetic. Of course, it costs more. - any thoughts on that?
