60K service?

The RL seems to be running a little rough and hasn't been serviced since we took possession back in May '15. I'm not completely clear what needs service and needs to be checked. I haven't been able to find a Acura indy tech and the nearest dealer doesn't have the best reputation for service. I may need to travel to a good dealership or just go to a generic servicer.
Any guidance welcome on long island

What do you mean by rough? I have a 2011 with over 120,000 miles that never ran rough. Is it just time for service or is there an issue?

Difficult to explain since I'm clueless but, seems to hesitate somewhat when given gas. Always use quality 93 octane, oil changed 2000 miles ago and high-speed alignment.

Ok, I've noticed that if I don't come to complete stop allowing the car to drop to 1st gear, 2nd gear seems slightly sluggish until it does go into 1st when I give it more throttle. If that's not what you are experiencing maybe try some Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner. I use it every so often and I think its the best cleaner you can use by adding to fuel, otherwise you have to use the vacuum hose to suck some bg44. Easier just to put this in your nearly empty tank before you fuel up. I would do it for your next two fill ups and see if it helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Haven't used Techron in years. DWs car so I don't drive it much
