question for 04 tsxes with 200,000 miles
I'm just curious who out there has an 04 tsx with lots of miles. A couple questions
a) Have you run into any specific car maintenance issues?
b) Is there anything I should be looking out for?
My car has 125,000 miles and just wondering what else other people are experiencing.
thx!

My '04 TSX now has 187K miles - it hasn't needed anything but maintenance for the last 50K miles (knock on wood . It does burn about 1/2 quart of oil or so every 5k miles, but everything else mechanical seems solid. Except for religious service and maintenance, the only "extra" repairs have been A/C compressor and new timing chain. very happy with the honda/acura reliability.

Why did you have to replace the timing chain?

According to the dealer, I experienced a rare occurrence of a "stretched" or "fatigued" timing chain (service lights, misfiring, etc.), and it had to be replaced at around 110K miles. The replacement fixed it. I drive at higher rpm's allot to stay in the power bands, so I guess that could have contributed to the failure. No issues since then.

several questions:
1) How often did you change your oil? How many miles passed between oil changes?
2) Did your car ever run low on oil where the oil dipstick registered a level under the two hash marks on the oil dipstick?
3) When you replaced the timing chain, did you also replace the tensioner? How much was the bill for the timing chain replacement?

How often do you change your oil?
I was under the impression that low oil levels contributed to this problem. I remember several members discussing this problem also having an oil burning problem. The possibility that a TSX which does NOT have oil usage problems can develop a stretched chain because of long oil change intervals is not one I have read about often.
I hope I am okay with changing my oil every 5000 miles. I drive about 80-85% in city and rest in highway.

That is good to know.
A couple of questions:
1) Are you the original owner or did you buy used?
2) During the 170,000 miles, what percentage would you say has been driven on the highway and what percentage has been in the city?
3) Was your TSX purchased in the United States or in Canada? I ask because some Canadian members of this board have reported oil burning problems.
