I have a 2007 Acura TL Carbon Bronze. I took it in for my first oil change at 6200 miles and the guy at the service desk told me I should be getting it changed every 3500 miles. I said to him "that's not what it says in the manual" and his response was "well that is just a baseline and it really should be changed more often than that". Is that a load of crap so he can get more money? Their oil changes are pretty resonable, maybe a few dollars higher than a jiffy lube or whatever but I don't want to pay for two oil changes in the same time span as my manual says should only need 1. What are your thoughts?

Hi everyone- For those of you who had your TL's windows tinting, have you had a problem with fine vertical scratches on the tint film resulting from lowering and raising your windows? I ask this because when I was calling around for tinting quotes, one tinting vendor mentioned to me how the TLs do not have window felt strips which require more $ because felt strips needed to be installed. I spoke to several tinting places afterwards and it was concluded that additional felt was unnecessary. Some vendors hadn't even heard of such a thing. After noticing the fine vertical scratches on my driver and passenger side windows, I'm suspecting this is a result of the lack of window felt strips. This is the first I've noticed. What is going on here? Is this true? Any ideas or advice? I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I read bunch of postings on this topic, but I'm still confused. When I start my TL-S in the morning, Check Tire Pressure indicator comes up. After 15 minutes of driving or so, the indicator goes away. What to do?

Replying to: tl_2007s (Nov 21, 2007 4:16 pm) Low pressure when cold is because the air molecules are smallest. as they warm up hey expand, increasing the pressure inside the tire. The warning message is telling you your pressures are low but when you drive the friction on the tread warms the air and increases the pressure to above the low pressure warning threshold. Very low tire pressure is the cause of most tire blow-outs. SO GET SOME AIR SOON. |

Anyone have 225/50SR 17 or 18 Goodyear Eagles as OEM tires on their car? Can you tell me the tire pressure recommendation that is on the door panel or in the owners manual for that size tire? Thanks I appreciate it. |

Replying to: crysophylos (Nov 20, 2007 5:45 am) There are numerous places where replacement felt can be purchased to avoid the problem. The tint guy is correct. What he is charging you, however, may be a rip off. Do some research. |
