Maintenance Intervals?

Is there like a master list somewhere for a 2006 TL?
I know the basics, but I'd like exact mileages for certain services to be done.

Also, if someone knows off the top of their head, what mileage does Acura suggest for changing shocks/springs?

(I've searched, but no master list was found)

Thanks!

look in your owners manual. There is a maintenance journal in there. I believe there is also one in the 3G garage

No recommended interval on shocks and springs. Replace 'em when they wear out.

Thanks guys. I read the manual and saw what Bearcat posted in the pdf file. Most tire and suspension shops say replace shocks at 50K but I guess I'd like an exact interval. I'll bother the Acura dealer on Monday. A service adviser should have a general idea, if not close to exact mileage.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no mileage interval as to when to replace struts/shocks. Many vehicles have well over 100K on original equipment and no problems. The 50K replacement is nothing more than a money maker for the garages, same as an alignment every year.
Replace when a shock/strut has failed and there is excessive ride control problems, or naturally when wanting an upgrade.
