The 30k is more then just an oil change and a tire rotation. Air Filter and Pollen Filter should also be changed... Along with the checks they do, I usually have my dealer take care of the list of things that need to be addressed since last service

https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com for the maintenace schedule online...

Many dealers will want to do alot of stuff that's not recommended in the owners manual or ownerslink website as far as service goes.

I got quoted $500 for the 30K from Inskip Acura, and they wanted to do a bunch of stuff that's not listed in the official acura maintence schedule. You have to watch out for that. I figure the 30K maint. should be $200-300.

if you have any DIY skills...you dont ever need to go to the dealer till something major happens (tranny, or water pump and timing belt replacement) or at least till 100k. They will just rip you a new one for very minor work that they will do. But if you can get them to do warranty work...then go right ahead. I just hate to see people go to the dealer like sheep and think that the $30k Acura really needs that much maintenance that soon...

I know that some of you guys that bought your CLs used didn't get a owners manual, but this type of info is readily available online:
