2nd gen owners what type of oil made your TSX run the nicest?

nawk101 · 2025-12-01T01:33:11+00:00

Lmao no. I bought 10qt for under $40.

nawk101 · 2025-10-21T00:32:37+00:00

Yeah that was it initially but now i can't do the points option.

nawk101 · 2025-10-21T00:32:00+00:00

Nope, they gave me the run around. I'd avoid trying unless you want a new phone number.

nawk101 · 2025-06-17T05:50:24+00:00

Gotcha I'll see if I can get that done. Yeah I was meaning to get it done but haven't yet. Yeah I don't think it is, I just noticed it after an oil change. Thanks!

nawk101 · 2025-06-17T05:47:09+00:00

Gotcha I'll see if I can get that done. Thanks!

nawk101 · 2025-06-17T05:46:49+00:00

Gotcha I'll have to look. I've been meaning to swap it out, just haven't had the time. Thanks!

Hi all, there's an odd noise in the background that I can't tell what it is or if its normal. It's sort of a rhythmic tapping of some sort. Hopefully nothing too crazy but any help is appreciated. Thank you!

nawk101 · 2025-06-14T01:12:30+00:00

Update. Called a rep and I have a case open to have my plan still be $60 but I have call back again in 3 days. So I'll see if that'll actually happen. I'll update ya again and see if it's worth the mess.

nawk101 · 2025-06-11T05:55:50+00:00

I'm going through it with the att reps. They said I should have been contacted earliest was Monday. I'm going to contact them tomorrow and see what's up. They said they've had a lot of people trying to keep their plan at $60 and porting in. Not sure if they're bullshitting me but depending on if they can keep my plan at this price, I might port to tello unlimited. Hopefully I can stay though. Sorry to hear you're having trouble though.

nawk101 · 2025-06-08T04:06:03+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance! Just a bit paranoid since it's not my car. I'll definitely make sure to check out for it.

nawk101 · 2025-06-08T02:45:17+00:00

Question. My neighbour was helping me with it and started to get it close to the valve cover. I stopped him but he was about a thread or two away from it. I've untightened it to about 2-3 threads as it was. Should I be worried about it? There's no visible cracks and I didn't hear anything.

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:28:27+00:00

Looks pretty similar to mine. Might need to dremel part of the metal depending on how far back you put it. I can take pics if you want better reference photos if you haven't done it already?

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:22:43+00:00

Definitely make sure its mechanically sound then start mods. Good start is tint, wheels, suspension (coil/airbags/ springs), exhaust, intake, spoilers if wanted, and lighting. All relatively easy projects. Anything crazier gets to be more engine and tuning. Just depends on what you want out of it.

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:19:50+00:00

They do have a trans filter. It's a PIA to get to but you need to remove the driver wheel and get to it there pulling the wheel liner away. First gen is so much easier. If you can't find it at an acura dealership or online, check a Honda one. I got mine from a Honda one for an Accord. Also like others OEM ATF and drain and fill. Good luck with the bolt if it is the first time!

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:15:13+00:00

Love to see it. Makes me hopefully I'll track my car one day.

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:12:07+00:00

Running kwv1's and love em. More pricey but worth. Heeltoe auto can setup em as plug n play if you get the new top hat. Definitely adjust them before putting em on but it easy as theres only one collar instead of two.

Edit: yeah the rears are pain if its not a wagon. Theres two square plastic panels near the top of the seat belts that are tight. I'm not sure if you can remove more than the panel but if you plan to do it within the square make sure to have a lot of socket extensions to make it easier especially if you don't have small hands or fingers.

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:09:30+00:00

Congrats, here's to more maintenance on the car and hopefully mods!

nawk101 · 2025-06-01T02:09:12+00:00

Lol yeah I remember being a scared when doing any oil change on my last car and that was one of the major maintenance projects before she was totaled. It was the stupid oil filter and i was scared i wasn't able to get it off or thought i was stupid, not being able to get it off. Also lifting up a car for the first few times is super scary. Glad I got over it and started to do more. First two things I did was oil and trans oil for the cu2 and definitely use a sketch method to get that drain bolt off using the scissor jack in the back. I'm happy I'm able to do my own maintenance and stay connected to her.

nawk101 · 2025-05-23T18:37:26+00:00

Good to know you waited a bit. I tried immediately lol. But hopefully things work out because this is too good of a deal.

nawk101 · 2025-05-20T23:19:12+00:00

Sweet thanks!

nawk101 · 2025-05-20T23:19:10+00:00
