I‘m on the fence about buying a new car in this current climate. My current car is a 06 Acura TL with 161K miles. I pretty much had 90% of the oil leaks fixed in the last five months. The seals I replaced were oil pump, spool valve, valve covers, cam plugs, cam seals, crank seal, oil pan. The only item left is the rear main seal which is leaking. The shop that did all the other work charges $1140 for this job. They said it’s a 9-10 hour job. I have read the whole sub frame has to be dropped to remove the transmission from the engine on this car. It’s amazing all this work for a $30 o-ring. $1200 is roughly 2 months of payments on your typical new car these days. If I‘m planning to keep the car, I need to fix this problem. All I read is the Honda J series engines will last 300K no problem, the transmission is another story.
