The 2018 Acura TLX with the 2.4L engine features a timing chain, while the 2018 Acura TLX V6 comes with a timing belt. Chains typically last the entire lifespan of a vehicle, unless a major issue occurs, while belts require replacement at some point regardless. If you have a timing chain, it's important to keep up with regular oil changes and check your oil levels monthly. Ensure the levels are between the top and bottom lines on the dipstick, adding or draining oil as necessary. For those with a timing belt, Acura recommends replacing it every 60,000 to 90,000 miles. However, be prepared for the cost of belt replacement, which can range from $900 to $940.
