how many miles is where you start for us in helping you
then call acura and register as the new owner 1-800-382 2238x5
ask if any open recalls or extended warranty you need to be aware of
until 105,000 it only calls for basic oil/filter change, change brake fluid and ps fluid at 60
replace cabin air filter and engine air filter
Often the cabin filter was never done because dealer price is so high - for a 20 minute DIY they charged 125-150$
If over 60 a seafoam cleaning of engine intake and gas with new NGK spark plugs will make it run like new

what do you mean?
the RECALL install of the external oil jet kit is valid if not done yet
If during that inspection they find certain damage- they will replace trans regardless of miles
Otherwise they install an oil jet kit and send you down the road
If you mean the extended warranty ordered by the court- thats 7 years+9 months or 109kmiles--you are beyond that

call the 800- 238 3382 x5 and register as the new owner
If not owner yet tell them doing a prebuy check
ASK if any recalls need to be taken care of
Or go in person to the dealer and they can do the same,
BUT you need to register with acura as owner to get any future recall notices mailed to you

the trans oil jet you can see right on top of the trans when you open the hood
99s also had ignition switch recall, they only do it once for the car- then you have to DIY when it fails again
some 02-03 have a timing belt pulley recall
