I've got a 1998 Acura CL 3.0 with 122,000 miles. I'm going to need to keep this thing for at least another 4 years. I drive 18,000 miles per year. I use tier one gas and synthetic oil, what else should I do to keep the car going a long time?|||Don't drive it hard when the engine is cold.
Replace the oil and filter every 3000-4000 miles
Keep a good check on oil level and water level
Keep a good watch on the Temperature gauge if it goes above normal stop and let it cool down this is the most lightly thing to cause big MECHANICAL trouble to your engine.
Do not rev high when passable 3000- 4500 rpm|||Replace your timing belt (if you havent already). Have your CV joints checked (and possibly replaced). Change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. Keep your oil changed regularly. You should be fine.|||there should be a schedule of maintenance in the owners manual but basically change the oil every 3000 tranny fluid and filter 20,000 air filter fuel filter flush the radiator etc|||Change your oil on time, don't mess with the transmission (Like when you speed up real fast after being at a red light).
