Hi I just purchased a 2008 TL Type S a few weeks ago and I love it so far. I just have a few quick questions. 1. Back in the day, I always used to have my first oil change at 1000 miles (due to break in period). My question is do you think I need to do this with this car? Or is that overkill since the technology has changed over the years? 2. Somewhere between 75-80mph there is a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Should I get a high speed balance done or is there a TSB for this that Im not aware of? That's all I have right now. Thanks in advance for any/all replies. |

Replying to: jaguar0027 (Oct 18, 2008 8:30 am) best rule of thumb when i have balanced tires is to rule out balancing issues . 1. break the front tires down for the rims. let the air out, break the seals and rebalance the tires completely as if u were putting on new tires. Sometimes the tires seal wrong. I have had this with many aftermarket rims and tires. After re-doing them ,they were fine...Try this 1st, if its not that, then you have another issue above. however your car is new so the dealer should take care of it.. make a stink. get it fixed. |

Any one notice a strange mild whine/slight chatter type noise coming from the left front-passenger (engine) area of the vehicle? It's most noticeable in Park and seems to go away when car is put in gear. I have it on my 08 TL Type S which the dealer told me is coming from the transmission. Told it was the gears and bearings and that all Type S' make the noise but it seems odd since I only have 10K miles on it. The transmission seems to be working fine and the fluid seems good too. Any ideas? I just fear it will continue to get noisier and sound like an old clunker. |

Hi, I recently purchased a 2008 Acura TL Type S. My first new car in 18 years. Prior to that I drove a 1990 Toyota Tercel that I never bothered washing or cleaning. Consequently, I have some silly questions about cleaning the interior of my TL. 1) What should I use to clean the seats? Some kind of leather cleaner? The seats are leather, correct? 2) What should I use to clean and care for the dashboard? Is the dahboard vinyl or does it have a leather covering? I have no experience with anything other than vinyl (seats, dash, etc.). Thanks for any suggestions and help!
