No service records on a 2008 TL
How much engine wear/damage would be incurred if the motor oil was only changed once or twice on a 2008 TL with low mileage (say 20,000-25,000 miles) ?

I wouldn't think it would be too too bad but the value would be definitely diminished.

Twice would be about every 6000 - 8000 miles (plus due now).
I think some have their MID telling them to change every 6000 miles or so.
2G TL had oil an oil change interval or 7500 miles. (3.2 litre J-series).

Unless they tell you the service were not kept up with the oil changes could have been done by the owner or a shop. The Mid gets pretty crazy if you don't reset it, starts counting the miles passed when the oil should have been changed. My car has never seen the dealer since I bought it so I would have no dealer service records.

I'm hoping when they reset the MID they actually did the stuff required.
If they had the know-how to reset the MID then I hope they can do a simple oil change.

My 2008 has no Acura service records, as I have done all the maintenance myself. I have kept the receipts for the oil and filter purchases, though, and detailed records of what I have done. Have it checked out to be sure, though.

Thanks for the comments. I saw a 2008 TL that a used car dealer was selling for $19,999. A little tempted since base CPO'd TL's go for $23,000. in the NYC/NJ area. They had no service records and the car was purchased from a Acura Remarketing auction. The CarFax only showed it was titled in NYC 3 years ago and sold at auction a few months ago. No mention of dealer service history.
Car had no Acura dealer stickers on it. Had some minor curb rash on all 4 wheels and the rear bumper was repainted. Probably was a NYC car that came off-lease and Acura dealer passed on it when it was returned.
I know you get what you pay for it.....
