2002 Acura TL Maintenance

You want your Acura TL to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your TL. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get TL maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2002 Acura TL maintenance schedule!

Acura knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your TL running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2002 Acura TL problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Acura TL and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your TL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2002 Acura TL be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your TL may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Acura TL battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty TL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Acura TL won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2002 Acura TL engine. See Acura's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2002 TL in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2002 Acura TL.

Routine upkeep for your Acura TL suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Acura TL steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Acura TL's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Acura TL maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Acura TL’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
