Where does it go and where does one get it from? The Acura dealership?
I bought mine at a discount. My dealer had it packaged with the blinker fluid, buy one get one 50% off.

I don't hit iVtec as often as some of you but, at that price, I figured I'd better get it. My left blinker was almost on empty, I make more left turns where I have to wait at a red arrow so the left blinker fluid gets used much faster. I made it just past 964,000 blinks. Can anyone confirm that, under normal use, you should be able to get 1,200,000 blinks before a complete flush and refil? And, please don't tell me to because I spilled blinker fluid on the page and now I can't read it. Can someone please check the manual and help me get to the Navi screen where the number of blinks is tabulated?

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I think you're right. Under normal blinking you should change every 1.2 million blinks, but under aggressive blinking it should be about half that before you change it. Aggresive blinking would be when you change lanes really fast regardless of how many times it actually blinks.

This thread reminded me to change out my muffler bearings.



Umkay, DO NOT be inspired to sticker that on your TSX.

How do you order it? Cause that spark plug wire cleaner seems pretty cheap. I didn't now you needed to do that but it sounds good.

Can I paypal it to you? If so PM me your email address. Cause it seems like my car is lagging a bit these days and I really want to get it running smoother and the wire cleaner seems like just what I need. I appreciate you doing this for me, I owe you one.
