Hello everyone, I just bought a 2004 TL with 66,800 miles. I used to have a 1995 Pontiac Trans AM, I moved and sold it and was looking for something to save me gas money and I found this Anthracite Metallic TL for 19k, I drove the car and fell in love with it. It didnt come with a owners manual so im trying to figure out how to work everything. The screen in the guage cluster, I think its called the MID says Service Past Due A13 I was wondering if someone could please tell me what is needed for this service, being a previous owner of an american made car, I have become very mechanically inclined and want to do all work myself, thanks in advance!!

 

register here download the manual https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login....Frecalls%2Easp look for my tl

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Went to my tl and owners manual and then it redirected me to helminc.com and they dont have it for a 2004 TL

 

i got a 03 and they had it for the download sorry

 

Anyone????

 

did you see where it said download manual

 

Yes and like I said in my previous post they dont have it available for order or for download for a 2004 TL, I just want to know what I have to do for the A13 service, thats all, it should say in the owners manual shouldnt it? I figured someone might be able to look in theirs and let me know but im gettin no love! I thought for sure id have an answer by now with all the knowledgable people in this forum

 

I'm guessing thats A - oil change plus subitem 1 - rotate tires and subitem 3 - replace transmission fluid.

 

^^^^^^^^^ I agree

 

Maintenance Minder A Scheduled Maintenance
Recommended service for your 2005 [2004] Acura TL:

Replace engine oil*1

*1: If the message, "SERVICE DUE NOW" does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every year.

Independent of the maintenance messages in the multi-information display, replace the brake fluid every 3 years.

Inspect idle speed every 160,000 miles (256,000 km).

Adjust the valves during services A, B, 1, 2, or 3 if they are noisy.

Maintenance Minder 1 Scheduled Maintenance

Rotate tires

Maintenance Minder 3 Scheduled Maintenance

Replace transmission fluid: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperatures. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the transmission fluid changed at 60,000 miles (100,000 km), then every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).

 

Thank you all for your help, Now if the dealer would only call me back and let me know what they did while they had the car, they are laggin
