Maintenance on my '05 TL

I just bought my TL and know nothing about maintenance at all. What do I do next for maintenance?

what date and mileage was the timing belt done? do you see that it's cut off and cant see info?

i then would change all fluid.
coolant, oil, brake and tranny, replace tranny pressure switches
inspect brake pads.
inspect front end suspension components

replace if necessary

Timing belt was replaced 12/04/2014 at 93,649 miles.
My car has 112,000 miles now

so you dont need to do the timing belt and water pump till 105K from 93k...

if spark plugs havent been changed, change them when you do...
coolant, oil, tranny fluid and brake fluid...

your car will be brand new if you do all these

i see nothing on spark plugs in the service history. How often are those done?

acura chose a plug that supposedly last 100k miles. which they can last that long!
it's just easy to change them at the same time the timing belt was done, so they would have the same schedule of 105k miles..

if they werent changed, no worries...you can easily remove one to inspect to see if needed to change

They say plugs can last 95,000 miles. Id say once ever 60k should be good.

especially since plug number 5 likes to eject.
if you remove that one..be sure to torque it down, correctly!!

If timing belt has been done, I would assume the water pump was replaced as well. I've read the 105k maintenance should also include spark plugs, serpentine belt, tensioner, and idler pulley. I had the timing belt and water pump done by the dealer right at 100k before I bought my car. I pulled the plugs and they looked a little worse for wear, so I replaced them. I would use only the OEM, NGK Iridium plugs. I've read on the forums that other plugs can cause issues. You can get the set of plugs for around $50-$60 on RockAuto. I also replaced the tensioner, idler pulley, and serpentine belt with the Gates kit from RockAuto (~$70). My tensioner seemed a little loose and there was a slight noise coming from the belt assembly. I haven't heard the noise since I replaced these 3 items. :wish:

I would start by removing a plug from the front and checking its condition. Same thing with the serpentine belt, just a visual inspection. My belt was in good shape, but my tensioner seemed to be moving around more than it should. I imagine it had never been changed, so the mechanism was worn out a bit.

Other than those items, check the tranny fluid dipstick, assuming you have an automatic. See what color the fluid is. Make sure it doesn't smell burnt. If it is a dark red-ish black, I would do a 3x3 drain and refill. Made a big difference for me. Color should be pink. I used Honda DW-1 to refill.

I know I commented a lot of this in your other thread, but I thought I would re-iterate. Our cars are similar age and miles, so I hope my input is helpful.

EDIT: I just read over your CarFax report again, it looks like your serpentine belt was replaced when timing belt was done. I would just check your idler pulley and tensioner to see if there's any play or noise.
