Post 7500 Service, what is it and is it Needed

I am approaching 7k miles on my TL and was wondering what is the 7.5k Service and if it is needed. Can I just get an oil change and rotate the tires?

Read your manual and it will say.

You can get all of it done at a service station or 'Jiffy Lube' type place for a lot less than Acura. My suggestion: buy a jack and do it yourself.

I agree. It is just Acura's way of ripping you off. What the hell can go wrong in 7500 miles under normal usage? NOTHING!!!!

How much do they charge for the service, I know the dealer has the oil change for 24.95 and every other one is free.

I had the 7500k service done Friday At Acura of Princeton. The price for the service was $108 for what amounts to a oil change tire rotation & checking out the engine and a car wash. I told the service manger that I do my own oil changes and didn't want them to do it, so he discounted the oil change and put in some Techron fuel injector cleaner. The charge was $57.00 somewhat better then $108. I know this is a rip-off but At least I have a invoice that the car was serviced if there ever is a warranty issue.

You are NOT required to do 7500 mile services to protect your warranty. Next time just go to jiffy lube and save yourself about $50.
