i just bought my 2011 acura tsx 2.4 with 129000 miles and i want to do some maintenance that seems to be overdue.which spark plugs should i use? also, is there an external a/t filter to change? my 2000 tl did have one. Should i do a transmission fluid change? should i do a 3x3? i did the air filters,is there anything else that im missing? fuel filter perhaps?
thanx for your input

Get the factory spark plugs. I don't think there is an external A/T filter. If the transmission oil has not been changed in a while, don't do a 3x3. Just drain and refill, drive a few months, then another drain and refill.
Fuel filter is inside the gas tank, so changing it may be complex / dangerous depending on your skill level / experience. Check the Air conditioning filter, behind the glove box, and clean the mass airflow sensor (small sensor located right after the air filter, on the intake tube. Held by 2 screws. Use a spray sensor cleaner)
