30K Maintenance

Does any1 have the list of the 30k maintenance? and out of those which ones are the ones that we REALLY need. I'm past the 30k but missed the maintenance so i'm thinking it's better late than never.
I have an appointment for tomorrow so early replies will be appreciated

There is no 30k mile service, just follow the MID. The service packages based on mileage are nothing more than a dealer trying to upsell you services at ridicilous prices.

A dying battery.

Really-- the OEM TL battery is not known to be long-lasting.

What year is your car?

It sounds like either a defective battery or an excessive electrical draw.
Some TLs, particularly '04 models, had problems with the HFL not powering down more than 20 minutes after the ignition was turned off, thus resulting in a TSB.

BTW, if the battery was replaced by an Acura dealer, it may still be under warranty and thus replaced by the dealer.
