Increments are 3750 or 7500 miles. 30,000 mile service and 45,000 miles are important especially relating to coolant, brake fluid, and tranny fluid. Your air filter and cabin filter should be changed out at 30,000 miles.You can do both yourself (search) and save $$$$. BTW, the filters are much cheaper at part places on-line. I would make sure someone looks at the brakes just to make sure. You may be able to access the service records if an acura dealer dealer did them to see what the prior owner had done. Plugs are good for 7 years or 105,000 miles.

The owners manual or acura's owners link http://www.ahm-ownerlink.com will have the maintenance schedule.
Since alot of the new members bought their cars 2nd hand and might not have a manual, here's a pdf of the maintenance schedule.

You probably wouldn't have to change your plugs yet. The only advantage that you will gain is in the event that the plugs are already fouled and it really shouldn't be. Check them. Also take a look at the air filter. Check out the tires as well.
I would say, drive the car for a bit and see if anything feels weird. Then post it up here for some opinions.
