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?

A good touchless car wash may be even better than a hand wash, for a black exterior finish. The problems with an automated car wash is it doesn't clean the wheels adequately; and if you don't wash regularly, one wash won't clean completely.

Does anyone know when the new 2010 tsx will be on the lots? Also would I get a better deal on the 2009 tsx this summer?

The 2010 wouldn't be out until September. You may get a better deal on the 2009 TSX, or any car for that matter, later in the year if the economy and the car industry continue to crash and burn.

I know, that will help me out too, because I am wanting to either get the TSX or the Accord. But, I am stuck with an 08 GM car. It will be 1 year this spring on my lease, so perhaps I will see some light and be able to deal on getting out. Yes, I know the drill of leasing...lol. I always trade early, but a GM car, well that is a whole other animal. They may want my business enough to work a deal out. Worst comes to worse, I'll wait longer into the lease. I am growing to like the car, but really I am a Honda guy.
