From what I have seen pop up several times on this site, if it is an automatic, changing your transmission fluid once per year is a safe bet.

Here is some potentially useful information :

Motor mounts
Timing Belt
lower control arm inner/outer bushings
radius rod bushings
brake fluid
power steering fluid
upper/lower radiator hoses
EGR port cleaning

and

Acura Maintenance Schedule <--- clicky.

The schedule says to do the transmission fluid at 120,000 mi/6 yrs
then every 90,000 mi/5 yrs after that.

Hope I helped and welcome to AcuraZine!
