Losing Power

Alright, my car is almost up to the 100,000 mile mark. I was just wondering, has anyone that has reached this mileage in the 3.0, noticed a difference in power and torque? That is the problem that I'm having now, anyone know what it could be?

When I went to have the ignition switch recall done on my 2.3 at the Acura dealer I saw a Quaker State oil poster. If this is what you have had in your car it creates a waxy build up in the engine. Also, you might want to try some fuel injector cleaner. I added some STP last tank and i got 3mpg better this time which means it got rid of something in there.
