In this video I cover step by step what is done during the major service of a 2008 Acura TL. This information will also apply to other Honda vehicles with a J series V6 engine. The exceptions would be vehicles with a separate differential, or all wheel drive. With those vehicles, you will also need to service the differential which is not covered in this video.

This is Episode 4 in the Acura TL Series.
