And you say what is so important about Marysville Ohio?! For the true Acura enthusiasts... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_TL .

I'll see if I can get in and take pics (with the phone camera).

Maintenance Minder A Scheduled Maintenance
Recommended service for your 2005 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.




From owners link.

Come to the meet and we can help you with tranny drain and fill. Just bring 3 qts of Honda tranny fluid.

Probably help with the resonator also.

Visit Acuraclubdfw.com and look at the information for the meet on 8/27.
