I currently own an Acura TSX, had it for 2 years at 0 miles, so bought it brand new. My issue is, Acura is telling me I need a whole host of things done after I hit 30K, but before we go into that, these are all the services I have done for my car, (recorded)
1. 3000miles - first oil change
2. 6500miles - second oil change, patched a needle hole in my tire
3. 12,220 miles - third oil change and tire rotation
4. 15,872 miles - forth oil change, self served Chevron fuel injector cleaner
5. 18,241 miles - 5th oil change
6. 24,562 miles - 6th oil change
7. 27, 600 miles - 7th oil change, air filter and cabin filter replacement.
8. 29,240 miles - Went to Acura dealer to get my pillar side replaced, and some other stuff (not engine related)
Now that I'm couple hundred miles from hitting 30K, the same day I went there to get my warranty serviced, Acura gave me a whole LAUNDY List of things to get done.
1. Transmission fluid exchange, and flush
2. Brake fluid exchange
3. coolant flush and fluid exchange
4. powersteering fluid exchange
5. concentrated fuel injector cleaner
6. fuel induction system cleaner
7. injector throttle body service
8. pressurized fuel rail cleaning service
9. fuel filters/oil filters (Now...I thought they changed the oil filters every oil exchange..?)
10. Pcv valve replacement
11. Breather filter....What?
The transmission fluid is a must, but I'm not sure about all the others, and the trans fluid is going to cost me around $110 alone from them. I'm looking somewhere around 500-550 dollars for this entire service, give or take. So anyone with any type of car knowledge can please confirm if these other "maintenance," are necessary? I have no problem spending money to prevent further more serious problems down the road, but I'd like to also know if these things are mandatory so I can be informed of this.
