Today I bought an Acura Certified 2020 TLX Technology, 2.4L. It came off a 36 month lease, has less than 28K miles and came with all uptodate dealer service records. Average oil change interval was 5,560 miles on Honda synthetic oil. I had been looking for an extra clean 2020 with the K24 motor instead of the 2021 and newer models that came with with the turbocharged motor. Two years ago I had a 2021 TLX as a loaner for three days and didn't like it with the engine noise piped into the cabin, and I wasn't sold on the long term life of the turbo. It's not a world beater with the K24, but to me it rides and drives better than the reviews I've read. It's my 5th ever Acura, so I have familiarity with the brand after a 1990 Legend, a 1996 RL. a 1998 TL and a 2018 RDX (which someone on here referred to as a hairdresser's car). I'll feed it top tier premium fuel and 5w-20 synthetic oil. Since it'll be used between NC and FL in mild to hot climates, I have no need to use 0w-20. It's nice to know that my stash of oil and filters for the Ridgeline can be used on this vehicle. Also a pleasant change I had: an excellent dealer experience at Crown Acura in Clearwater FL.
