yupp well I never go to the dealership for anything I just got stuck with some repairs so the I suckered my own self this time. I keep forgetting that I need to do my own repairs and maintenance I just got duped myself trying to get a free oil change so it got stuck up there where I had to. the second time I don't know what I was thinking so I let them look at it cause I thought maybe the transmission was going out, but they told me that it was the engine mounts but if i didn't want to repair it that i would still have to pay the 120.00 diagnostics fee so I told them to go ahead and just repair the side mount and they also got me to flush the brake fluid so ya they upsold quite a bit.... I also live in apartments where I don't think they would really like it I didnt any real mechanical work on my car, so Im saving to rent a garage so I can finally do the all the work on the cars just been a free spending fool. I wont allow anyone to touch the car anymore really so I will be doing all my own work from here on my fault folks I dont know what I was thinking. also the side mount does have a bunch of stuff I really wouldnt want to mess with like abs lines and etc haha maybe if I knew from the get its not the transmission. Imma put in some work on the tl tho

haha i just love my acura... so shes a spoil bee, I could of done alot more with the money instead if i just waited I could of order all the mounts. well now Im just going shop around for the lowest price on the front engine mount and start saving from there. The car does not act badly in third anymore so Im glad about that but Im going to be babying her til we get that Front engine mount Ordered and Installed. Thanks tho 3.2TL your right tho Im always just finding excuses for this and that I just need to drive it... I never had problems with driving it before I just need to realize the car is 9 years old I should be happy its running and its running great as much money as I spent on repairs I probably could of bought a acura 6 speed transmission

Ok so I saw that I should check and inspect my PCV valve and clean the throttle body with carb cleaner to maybe to fix a slight oil leak I have. I notice I can smell Oil burning when I got out my car. Earlier in my Apts i thought I saw a drop of oil that my car might of dropped I checked again when I got to work and a few hours later and nothing. I have been only useing mobil clean 5000 and just recently changed to quaker state which my dealership is useing but they used 5w 20 or something and Im always usually useing 10w 30 would that hurt it any?? changeing oil I seen isnt really a good idea. what should I use the same kind of oil thats in it or use mobil 5000. I know for now On Im more likely to go ahead and do my own oil changes and repairs Im going to start renting a garage to do all this stuff.
