Hello im new to this site and as a owner of an acura rl i got it at the dealership at 60,000 miles it has 80,000 miles now what i changed is i did the oil change at 72,000miles had my mechanic change the tranny oil and the brake fluid when i got the car. But my concern is how and when should i replace the differentialfluid and what kind of fluid should i use also how do i do a tune up and what does a tune up consist of i need help.also i noticed the leather on my arm rest is coming off ive only used leather wipes and sanitizer wipes when i clean my car also the clock on the radio goes out at times where u cant see the time has this happened to anyone else,is there any way i can avoid this happening. In the future and should i be using something different for the leather and how can i fix the clock from always showing

 

Congrats! The clock issue has been fairly well documented as far as failure goes. One fixed solder and you're good. The 2G garage will hopefully provide you with some help to keep your RL running smooth for years to come!

Welcome, the arm rest leather peeling off is common along with the door arm rest you can DIY re wrap with synthetic leather or real leather under $100. The thread above me point a very good thread made recently of how to fix the display issue. BTW got any moe pics?

 

Except his car in pre-09, in the 09 there's a 4th screw below the rubber that's in the armrest.

 

 

 

welcome aboard!

 

Oh, right . RL09

 

Thanks for the help u guys are so helpful and yes i do have more pics ill post them later. Can u help me on what i need to tune up my car and what i should use to keep it running good. Also whats good tranny oil i should use? When should i replace my brakes or brake pads and when should i get an alignment?

 

thanks so should where do i buy the wrap at ?

 

Second 25 of the video. It looks like youtube.

You can put the same title as on second 25 in google and find it online.

Unless you wanna go to the dealer

 

drain and fill the AT with Honda DW1 ATF cost $27 for 3 bottles or $125 at the dealer service and for the brake pads you have to remove the wheel to inspect to see how much pad material is left or you can have the pad inspected by the dealer for free with and oil change service. I would get an alignment every 40k miles also highly you get it done right after you replace your tires with a new one.
