#12 of 81 Re: 2008 tsx prices are in [biker4] by autoboy16 Jul 03, 2007 (8:24 pm)
Replying to: biker4 (Jul 03, 2007 6:30 pm) acura/honda will most likely drop the 2.4 in favor of the 2.3T.   Honda can have the 2.4 as the "BASE" TSX, the 2.3T as the "Type-s" and the diesel as the "type-E(economy)" but you never know what honda has planned until a month after the product is released!   -Cj Replies to this message: biker4 (Jul 04, 2007 9:23 am)

Replying to: autoboy16 (Jul 03, 2007 8:24 pm) The whole point of Acura is to aim for the needs of 90% of the folks and leave everyone else behind by NOT allowing too many options, including engines. The only drivetrain option I see as a possibility are diesels as the "green" alternative to a hybrid. Many makers milk the first year "gotta have" buyers by giving the market "just enough" and then add things during the model run to keep buyers coming in. So the first year I don't foresee any options at all (engine wise) but then allow the diesel option down the road.   The Sept Frankfurt show should have more info.
#14 of 81 2008 MPG rating changed by ktm308 Jul 17, 2007 (6:25 pm)
Did anyone notice the rated MPG on the sticker of the 2008 dropped from the 2007 numbers. Did Acura change something on the motor? Replies to this message: tsx08 (Jul 17, 2007 6:36 pm) biker4 (Jul 18, 2007 11:52 am)

Replying to: ktm308 (Jul 17, 2007 6:25 pm) I dont think so...EPA has new estimate rating system for 08 so they got adjusted...supposedly more realistic...Anyway, i purchased a new 2008 Acura TSX for 27,550 w/o navi,auto...Dont think i did too bad. i pick it up saturday and am VERY excited to get behind the wheel.

Replying to: ktm308 (Jul 17, 2007 6:25 pm) Nothing changed other than the EPA measurement method and a $100 increase in MSRP.
#17 of 81 Metric for US TSX by jphjph Aug 26, 2007 (2:43 pm)
Hi guys,   We just bought a 08 TSX and my wife prefers the metric displays. Anybody knows how to change miles to KM, F to C and where to get a dashboard in metric?   Thanks!!!   JP
#18 of 81 2008 Acura TSX with Navigation by ramstein317 Sep 07, 2007 (5:28 am)
Replying to: chocsforu (Feb 19, 2007 8:27 am) I have a dumb question, and it seems like I am the only one who is having problem. I just recently LEASED, a 2008 Acura TSX with Navigation. Car is built in JAPAN 100%. However, I currently have almost 2000 Miles. Whenever I am driving with the "AC", on there seems be getting some kind of a "KNOCKING", noise coming from the engine/hood. I read the manual, and only way the noise should be coming is IF I DON'T USE PREMIUM 91 or higher Octange Gas. But, I have been using PREMINUM gas at any gas station. Any reasons or any ideas, what's going on? I will be getting the car back to the dealer to check it out, on my first oil change. In that case, 2 more questions-- I have the navigation, would that display any TRAFFIC patterns in the GPS? I thought it does, maybe I don't know how to set it up. When should I do my first OIL CHANGE? Thanks everyone...
#19 of 81 New 08 TSX by mrgold35 Sep 07, 2007 (7:59 am)
The 08 TSX does not have real time traffic option. I think the problem is with the Bluetooth module used for the TSX needs to be exchanged with a 07/08 TL Bluetooth w/ traffic to work properly in our cars. I think it is a mistake on the web site because it shows traffic information on the Acura web site for the TSX:   www.acura.com Click TSX Click Features and Options Click Audio and Communications Click Navigation System Overview Click Destination Database (enlarge the picture and it shows Traffic data)   As far as oil changes, just follow the MID oil life schedule % (about every 4500 to 5500 miles). Changing your oil at 3000 miles will not make much of a difference for the TSX. I switched to Mobil 1 5w-30 at 5000 miles and notice a slight increase in mpgs (1/2 to ¾ per gallon of gas).

Replying to: mrgold35 (Sep 07, 2007 7:59 am) Mrgold35: Thanks for your feedback. I will go by the MID Oil life schedule indicater. Would it be okay, to use the "Geniune Honda Oil 5W-30"? By the way, I did saw the traffic info, by your guidance on Acura.com I should rather ask the dealer that why no notifications comes up on the navigation system. But thanks for getting back. I like the car thought. Very well made, and worth the money. I haven't linked my cell phone to the bluetooth module yet. If there are passengers in my car, I rather not let them allow to listen to my conversation.
#21 of 81 Traffic on 08 TSX by mrgold35 Sep 07, 2007 (1:07 pm)
As far as oil changes, just follow the MID oil life schedule % (about every 4500 to 5500 miles). Changing your oil at 3000 miles will not make much of a difference for the TSX. I switched to Mobil 1 5w-30 at 5000 miles and notice a slight increase in mpgs (1/2 to ¾ per gallon of gas).   I'm not 100% sure if the 08 TSX can display traffic information. I haven't seen a lot of upgrade to the 08 model compared to the 07 TSX. I would double-check with the dealership just to make sure if the option is there.   I went to Wal-mart and purchase 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 5w-30 for about $19 and took this to Acura when my oil % was below 5%. I just feel better using Mobil 1 and I plan on keeping my 06 TSX well pass the 100,000 mile mark.   The only oil I will not take a chance on is the transmission. I will use "Genuine Honda tranny oil" only. I changed my tranny oil in my Accord at a shop down the street and my tranny died 6 months later. It could or could not be tranny oil related.
