I have a 03 TL and I just hit 2000 miles. I live in the city, and basically only drive on the weekends. When should I think about taking it in for the first service, and is it worth it to take it to Acura? Besides an oil change, is there anything else I should think about?

 

after 2000... no not at all

 

I never service mine

 

are you just doing short trips or do you do some extended driving when you take her out on weekends - this determines what service schedule you should follow.

However, at 2K miles, no service should be necessary. The dealer is probably not needed, but it all depends. Sometimes if you go there regualrly, they will cut you a break on small services or when things go wrong they are more willing to help you out since you have a history with them.

 

for me it's short trips only. During the summer, I'll be driving from Chicago to the east coast occasionally, that's about it. It's just city driving, nothing too special. Should I really wait until I reach the service manual suggestions for service??

the reason I ask is I am coming from a 98 blown cobra which needed to be pampered in every way...
