Nearing 364k. Need to replace the o2 sensors as I have smog coming up next month. Driving more but not always in the TL so the mileage is going to continue to slow down. Putting my goal of 400k off for probably another two years. Oh well.

^ Translation:
My Acura TL has 290k miles(klm most likely), the tranny still runs, but slips, and theres no oil in the motor. I have faith that it will still serve me for some time.

3100 miles from 300,000. Engine uses maybe 1/3rd quart between 7500 mile synthetic oil changes. Averaging a repair every 15-18 months so still pretty reliable for the mileage. Do need to replace 3 door actuators.

2007 WDP 5/AT - Yes, that's actual mileage. Other than the POS tires (BFGoodrich G-Force COMP-2 A/S 245/45/17) that I'm about to have replaced, I love this TL!

Are you not allowed to drive past the end of the driveway?

the POS tires (BFGoodrich G-Force COMP-2 A/S 245/45/17) that I'm about to have replaced
While not trying to derail the thread in any way, given that my 2005 6MT has BFGoodrich G-Force COMP-2 A/S 245/45/17 tires which have so far performed very well, why are you disliking and replacing these (Point Of Sale) tires? Feel free to respond outside the thread in a more suitable one or directly.

Hah! The person I bought it from lived about 5 miles from her office, so she didn't put very many miles on it. I rarely drive more than 2 miles a day to get coffee. I'll find the thread, but when I test drove this car, I was shocked by how sh!tty the drive was. I felt every single bump in the road, ridiculous road noise, rattles, etc., and was tearing my hair out trying to understand why a newer (2007) with "quality" tires drove like crap compared to my 2005 with twice the miles and the cheapest tires I could find. Then I swapped the front tires with my "el cheapos" and the ride was 200% better. There was all kinds of speculation about suspension issues, torn bushings, etc., but at the end of the day, it was these sh!tty BFG G-Force tires. If you're driving with them and think your ride is good, more power to you. But if you prefer a more comfortable, quiet ride, I encourage you to try some other tires. I just picked up a 2008 with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and they seem like the perfect blend of performance & comfort.

Here's the thread and @horseshoez nailed it: those BFG's absolutely suck and I can't wait to have them swapped & sold with my 2005 TL.

Just passed 152,000. Doing the last of the 3x3 trans fluid change and oil soon. Could use to do the shift solenoids at the same time, they're pretty jerky.

5W-20 synthetic, usually when the MID gets down to around 20%

So, there is another one of the great Paul's (Mr. Scott as I sometimes refer to him) customers that have more mileage than me. He's the reason my car's made it to 364K.

Still stuck at 364k. Will be traveling the next month or so and not driving. Hoping to end the year at 368k.

The engine light was on (had been for about two years) because of bad o2 sensors. Surprisingly gas mileage was not impacted. Finally replaced the sensors because my registration required a smog check. Gas mileage is now not nearly as good. Oh well.

Mines at 275,000 miles ! Only thing it does that worries me it is it sort of slams into drive, but, it's been doing that for a while.

Always appreciate you reviving your maintenance list DMZ, it gives me a moderately accurate frame of reference on what's to come with my own car
