#23 of 91 DIY Oil Change by indydriver Feb 16, 2005 (2:19 pm)
How tough is it to change the oil and filter yourself with the car on the ground? Replies to this message: c_hunter (Feb 16, 2005 8:24 pm)

Replying to: indydriver (Feb 16, 2005 2:19 pm) Oil is easy, filter is a real bitch. The filter is on the back of the engine and can only be accessed from below the car. You will need a socket type filter wrench to get it off.   Craig
#25 of 91 20,000 Maintenance Check by rko2 Mar 01, 2005 (12:08 pm)
I have just purchased a certified 2004 TSX when it had 17,600 miles. I have just hit 20,000 miles and the maintenance schedule says it is due for a check up. Two questions:   1. Is this necessary after the dealer did the certified checkup less than 3000 miles ago?   2. The dealer quoted me $165 for the checkup including the oil change, rotating tires, etc. Is this price normal?   Thanks for the help.
#26 of 91 Typical dealer pricing but a riipoff nonetheless by uncledavid Mar 01, 2005 (1:41 pm)
The 20,000 mile service is essentially an oil change, rotate tires, and check the brakes. $165 for that is ridiculous. Replies to this message: rko2 (Mar 01, 2005 2:03 pm)

Replying to: uncledavid (Mar 01, 2005 1:41 pm) Thanks. I thought that was really high. I found another dealer that will do it for substantially less. So even though it is probably still more than I would pay somewhere else, it will be good for them to go through everything after a cold winter and keep up the certified warranty without hassle.
#28 of 91 Acura service is bad by jkobty2 Mar 02, 2005 (6:35 am)
See I do not think that is an individual dealer being bad. It does really look like to be an Acura policy never to admit fault. What good is a warranty if it does not cover you come problem time. Acura has finally fixed the rear wheel bearing for us, but that is after I got a written report from my own mechanic that the rear wheel bearing is failing. Initially they said, this is not possible, we have never heard of that, Acura's do not have this problem. So far they have replaced the steering wheel, front wheel alignment, rear wheel bearing, fixed the ac drain hose under warranty. Many remaining issues which are more expensive to fix, and they refuse to acknowledge the problem. Burning oil (have to top up between oil changes), jerky transmission(recent), lots of paint damage on the front hood, it seems the smallest grain of sand will chip the paint on our TSX, creaking noises.
