2003 TL-S Maintenance!
I got a 2003 TL-S, currently with 195059 miles on it The transmission was replace by Acura at ~130K. I do oil changes every 3k miles and tranny fluid every 7k (a lot but i wanna keep my tranny healthy lol). What else can i do to keep it up for a while? Besides all the fluid change/refills, air filters, spark plug-tune ups and what not. I wanna keep it going so i can throw it on some coils and dress it up a little lol. -Thanks mang

1. Valve adjustment
2. Trans filter replace
3. Sea foam
4. Timing Belt/Water Pump
5. Alt. Belt
6. Check susp/steering for worn parts
7. Flush brake and power fluid
8. Clean the EGR ports in the intake manifold

One of the best things you can do and be prepared for when the time comes is save up money for an AV6 swap and get a trans in storage for when yours fails.
That is only contingent on if your going to keep the car for a long time.
Second poster pretty much said everything else.

Might I add, 7k tranny fluid changes is really to early. I do mine ever 10k and thought that was excessive. Go ahead and change the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches on the trans. And do 10k changes and change the trans filter ever other fluid change.
