I'm down to trade for a 6speed...

 

The car has been great. I have done all the maintenance myself with the exception of the timing belt.

 

I definitely don't have the highest, but I bought my 07 TL-S in May 2011 with 89k and it has just over 101k now. 12k in a year and a half, most of them joy rides

 

I've put 11K since may when i bought it.

 

So basically with the thread it's safe to say the TL-s can handle 100k miles no problem!

 

if you'd stop buying and selling TLs, you might have accumulated enough miles to be part of this thread. welcome to the low mileage club.

 

2005 Base 5AT
bought mine with 96k in july now it has 103k

 

Glad to see some of these cars going well over 100k.

Any service work in particular you guys are doing to keep them in shape? Ball Joints? Bushings, things like this? How about mounts?

 

i did
plugs
rotors/pads (Front) (back soon)
front links
oil (synthetic) 3000-5000 miles
fuel injector cleaner 3000 miles
passenger side mount changed
noise free until then.

 

I'm at about 280k now with original engine and trans

 

Legitka9,thats whats up.Soon you will be at 300k.

mcmanut,so 200k no problems at all?Thats awsome.keep idriving it,keep us updated.

This pic was taken of a car i was servicing at the dealer:

 

That's awesome as well with it being a 07-08 model. I plan to drive mine for years and years to come.

I will definantly post a new shot when I hit 300+

 

I'm on my 3rd timing belt, had a new radiator put in, new windshield, new timing belt tensioner at around 260k, regular maintenance like oil changes, brakes, drain and fills but no major issues with this car to speak of.

The only two problems that I've ever had is an issue a year back when the car alarm would go off on rainy days but that was resolved by replacing a hfl module. Also the second issue is just my personal opinion, I feel that the interior quality could be better. I've got a lot of miles and use but coming from a Lexus, the fit and finish could use some improvement.

I've also got an 06 Acura RL with 266,000 miles

 

2007 Type-S Auto
134,000 miles
Issues: tire pressure sensor replaced, many rattles in the trunk, one in the dash, navigation disc drive in the trunk got replaced, voice command & bluetooth doesn't work. Just did normal maintenance - have had the car almost 3 years, went through a set of tires, spark plugs, timing belt package, a couple recalls performed, oil changes done with the MID, air filter, on my second pair of brake pads, transmission fluid changed with OEM Acura fluid 3 times, and have replaced the rotors (all four) once.

 

Ruby , i feel your pain on the brake pads issue.The fronts are usually done in 25k.

Legitka9,why replace the radiator? Was it leaking?
Lexus is definitely kicking our ass in many fields including interior quality.

 

Yes the radiator started leaking a little bit so I had it changed. No big issues though. When the timing belt tensioner went out, it sounded like I had a rod knock. I knew the j series was bulletproof! Funny thing was that the tensioner gave out 500 miles after my 3rd timing belt job so it went back to Acura 3 days later!

 

That right there is why when that maintenance is done I always to TB, WP, Tensioner. Same with clutch master or slave. If one goes out, I always do both. Your already there (especially if your paying for labor) and the part itself was less than $100.

Sorry to hear that happened so quickly to you.

 

2008
TL Base model.
132K
60K since I bought it last May.

 

2008 auto TL-S bought it at 60k in march, I'm at 77k miles now.

 

2007 TL-S auto bought it at 38k last year.. now 75k. the tranny shifts kinda hard since i bought the car but i test drove a couple of TL-S and every one of them kinda shifted hard. i always have a feeling that the tranny would collapse sometime before 150k i hope it runs past 250k miles just like some of you people on here. lol

 

2007 S auto bought in feb 48k now 64k and running

 

Change the ATF fluid?

 

changed the ATF fluid at a honda dealership when the car hit 70k. no difference whatsoever. downshifts are harder.

 

Well my shifts aren't hard at all I've done 3x3 at 51k with redline fluid haven't gotten that last change in yet tho

 

Don't use the dw1!

 

Wow, u must be driving cross country....

YEAR: 2007
MODEL: TypeS
MILES: 186000+

 

dang nice to see these high mileage 07-08 TL reporting in! however, 04-06 TL's keep out!

 

Try changing the 3rd and 4th gear switches with your next 1x3. After changing my switches and a series of 1x3's mine shifts very clean.

Explain.

I've done 4 1x3's with the DW1 and my car has not blown up yet.

 

YEAR: 2005
MODEL: Base MT
MILES: 118,xxx

HFL module replaced under warranty and power window regulator on the passenger side replaced for $120.

I love my TL

 

^^this thread is for the UA7/type-s folks...

 

Sorry :/

 

For those of you with tl-s (automatic) worried about transmission issues,not to worry.Those trans are different from the base models,to date not a single auto tl-s trans has gone bad.Change the fluid every 30k and your golden.

antlive ,dam you make mine look like it has low miles.How do you guys manage to rack up so many miles?
I personaly commute 55 miles daily,5 days a week plus weekend fun.

 

^^^^

You sure about that Sparky? The parts list for the TypeS and Base are the same for the the auto transmission.

Feel free to search the other components.

I could be wrong....it's happened before....but I think they are the same.

The oem Honda ATF-Z1 and DW-1 were both manufactured by idemitsu lubricants and in their spec sheets it shows the viscosity of the fluids with the DW-1 being much thinner than the original Z1 that came in our cars new. In a nutshell, it's like running 0w20 engine oil on a car that is meant to run 10w30 from the factory. Yes it will work but for how long? I use an ATF that is very similar in spec to the Z1 and that is the Eneos ECO ATF. Honda switched from z1 to dw1 for improvements in fuel economy on the latest vehicles. Yes they say that dw1 will work in vehicles that came with z1 but not vice versa.

If the vehicle is 09 or newer dw1 is required and z1 is said to not be compatible. Strange thing is that in the owners manual of 09+ vehicles it still says that if dw1 is not available standard ATF may be used.

I have done a few dw1 drain and fills but never again.


Lets not turn this into an ATF thread. Sorry guys.

Carry on with the high mileage UA7's!

 

^^ and UA6's

 

I have a very close friend who is the head service advisor for one of the only Acura dealers in my state, and he personally told me that he has never seen an 07-08 TL Type S transmission go bad. I replace my fluid with OEM Acura fluid every 30-40k or so and I've had no problems. I trust him and my car hasn't blown up yet.

 

07-08's only for this thread.

 

mine is an 08
