Whether you use synthetic or non-synthetic, a high mileage oil will protect your engine a little better, which is useful, especially if you like to drive with a heavy foot sometimes.
Hope this helps!

Whats this about the 1999 4 speeds, are they supposed to last longer? I thought all the trannys were hopeless...

Good to note your motor can go 265. I've told my wife I want us to drive this until 300k.

I have a 99 TL I bought new, which now has 95,000 miles on it. Based on lots of reading on acurazine, it looks like my car is out of warranty based on the age being over 7 years/9mo...even though the milage is under.
I just had the timing belt replaced last week, and did DIY for front engine mount, wiper slapping, front/rear rotors and pads, brake bleeding, and transmission fluid change.
Now I am paranoid my transmission will go out after spending lots of $$$ on the TL last week. So far, the trans is great....but just in case...has anyone had much experience with out of warranty trans replacements on a 99?
If I am reading this right, some folks in this thread may have been in this situation....
Tommy99TL said "105K mi. on my 99 TL.
It is still in the Acura service for transmission replace since yesterday."
NSXNEXT said "117000+ on a 99TL - getting a new tranny this week."
RugRat said "99-TL. Just bought from a friend at 167,000 with new tranny at 150,000."
Any experiences out there?
