A tad bit off-topic but I've noticed that the rims scratch easily - if you just touch a curb, you get scratches. Can these be buffed out?

I get all my service done by the acura dealer. I have also had use of their loaner cars which I was able to keep overnight. (not that it was necesary) I now have 67,000+ miles on my two year old 06 tsx. The dealer I take my car to for service also sells honda's and hyundai's and provides loaner cars for them also.

Any rim out there is going to scratch when put against concrete or hard surface. Your car weighs thousands of pounds, put that to your rim, pushing into a rough surface and it will scratch. Its too bad. You can touch these up with a paint to make them less noticeable. It will not look so bad then.

1st Oil & Filter change for a brand new TSX by yy394

I just bought a new TSX recently. The dealer said Acura cars only require oil/filter change every 5,000 miles. However, I also heard that I should bring my car for the 1st oil/filter change sooner. Any suggestions? Thanks.

you should follow the maintenance minder. It lets you know the % of oil life left. When it get down to 15% it will show service due soon and a code of what service is due. When it gets to 5% it will show service due now. After it goes to 0% it will start showing miles past due. I had my first oil change at almost 7,000 miles. I now have almost 68,000 problem free miles.

I never go by what the sticker says on my window, which states when to go in for an oil change. In fact I am already 1k over. I will wait awhile.

the dealer I take my tsx to for service does not use those stickers. They said to follow the maintenance minder. I average between 600-650 miles for each 10% of oil life.

Issues with 2009 TSX by ihammer

I love driving my '09TSX, the seats are very comfortable and it's great to have the bluetooth feature. My car has about 2000 miles on it and I do have a few issues.
 1. I noticed shortly after I got the car is that the driver door unlock/lock device squeaks intermittently when being used both by key fob and door unlock button. I don't particularly want the door torn apart because I don't want to take the chance of damage, but I worry about the squeak turning into a non-functioning locking device.
2. The cupholder cover is cockeyed - I closed it once and could not get it open by pushing on the release area. I finally got it open by carefully pushing on the back of it, but really it's non-functional. I am also worried that a tech might damage or scratch something in the console if they try to replace or fix it like they scratched the console in my '07 TSX while trying to install a cassette player.
 
3. The brakes have started to squeak intermittantly, this morning on exiting the garage and yesterday while making a gradual stop while going about 40mph.
 
4. The steering wheel makes a rubbing/grinding sound when being turned at slow speeds usually while trying to park or when leaving a parking space when many turns of the wheel are necessary.
 
Has anyone else had any of these problems with their 2009 TSX? Thanks for any input.

I bought a 2009 TSX w/ Tech Package in Dec 08 and did not face any of the above issue. Today morning my camera did not work on reversing the car but by afternoon it started working back.
 
Can anyone tell if automated car wash is suitable for black TSX 2009 or I shld only go for hand wash. I am not sure if the automated wash will leave blemishes on the car exterior?
