I would recommend to anyone with over 75,000 miles on their car, especially a TL, that they switch to a high mileage oil. 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!

 

I am within 200 miles of 100k.

 

It is not needed. Just keep using a "quality" oil and you will be fine.

 

Why "Especially" the TL???? A high mileage oil wont protect the motor any better, especially if there is nothing wrong. Come look at my motor sitting on my garage floor. 210k on it, 15k change intervals not a drop ever burned, the original cross hatching is still visible. The TL motor is built with very close tolerances and doesnt need any thing special for oil.

 

217,000 km, bought it at 172,000 km, I think it's the original tranny, runs good, reading these tranny thread makes me want to sell before I have to spend some major cash on a tranny! my friend just put a tranny in his 1999 tl with 200,000 kms, $2500 cdn...ouch

 

1999 TL 152000 miles

 

i hit 50 000 today.

 

flynnjon

Your friend should consider himself lucky. When my tranny went, Burrard Acura in Vancouver quoted me $4700.00 CND!

 

I hit 111,111 today.

=[

 

im about 1000 miles from hitting 100K and I believe its still the original tranny they did the oil test thing when i first got it with 50k miles at the dealership and it passed, so i didnt get a new tranny from the factory, DAMN! Need a trans. flush, hopefully it doesnt go out after the flush I would be pissed!!! Still running smooth !!!

 

I'm considered to have low mileage for the year. 03 TL-S with 55,850 miles. Original transmission.

 

99 TL 86,000 miles on second tranny.

 

I have 156,000 on my 2003 TLS-but only 60,000 on the replaced transmission. Still running strong!

 

139,856 on my 02 tls original tranny replaced was the bumper after i backed into a rock hah and the headlights

 

*the only things replaced were the bumper...

 

Now 116K 00 TL

 

My 1999 TL has 265k Miles. Runs great. tranny pauses between reverse and drive sparatically.

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

 

I was told it is the 5sp trannies that have the issue.

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

 

I just turned 167k today on my 99. Runs like new still.

 

bout to hit 150k on my 00 tl-p, dont know if its the original tranny, whats the easiest way to find out?

 

I have 141,000 on mine. Still going strong.

 

i have 164,000 MILES on my 99 tl looking to swap engines

 

Just got my 99 TL about 2 weeks ago and picked it up with 185,000 KM on it and now I have 186,453 KM.

 

Just hit 99000 today on my 03 type s and I believe its the original Tranny because my tran passed that test thing under warranty..Hope it last another 99000 miles. haha Still runs like the first day I bought it.. Nice, strong, and QUIET!!!!!!!

 

1999 TL ... 202,000 miles

 

I have 95,000K on my 99TL. Tranny (original) still works perfect. My 91 accord EX had 304,000 miles on it when I bought the Acura. That's a 4 cylinder that was never rebuilt and still ran strong at that mileage. I would hope the TL's motor would last as long if proper maint. is done.

 

This was a few weeks ago. Now its 70k.

Also for the actual miles on the body, add 210,000 more miles.




Oh and NO its not a photochop. (yes im bored very often)

 

im at 110,500 today

 

~150K on my 99 TL-P. Got 145K out of the auto trans and have had the 6 speed for about 5K now.

 

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?

 

103,000 mi on a 2003 type s. Almost time for big money service.

 

i got 111,872 on my 99TL

 

yeah my dealer quoted me 965 dollars for 105k service

 

just passed 115k on my '00 TL

 

128,000 Miles on my 99TL - The clock light is out and the air is not as cold as it used to be but its original transmission and no engine problems. Hope I didn't jinx myself for posting

 

WOW this give me hope. My goal is 250,000 miles

 

Just curious? What did you pay for the Timing Belt Replacement. what type of garage did it? I'm about to have mine done.

 

I have a 2000 TL. 140 K, replaced rack and pinion, cost me over $800.00 !!!!

 

302K on my 2000 TL, Tranny went at 275.

 

DAMN!
