Additional Notes

  • Across all Acura TL UA4/UA5 configurations covered here, the power steering fluid specification is expressed as a reservoir level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the system is serviced by topping up to fall between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir rather than by adding a precise measured quantity.
  • The "between min and max" specification applies uniformly under normal use conditions across the 2001-2003 model years, covering both the standard TL 3.2 and the TL 3.2 Type-S variants in both USA and Canadian markets.
  • The Type-S trim, available for 2002-2003 in both markets, carries the same min-to-max reservoir level specification as the standard TL 3.2, indicating no difference in power steering fluid servicing between the two trim levels.
  • The 2001 model year is represented only by the standard TL 3.2 in both the USA and Canadian configurations, while the Type-S trim entries begin with the 2002 model year.
  • Canadian and USA market variants share identical power steering fluid level specifications for each corresponding model year and trim, with no market-specific deviation noted across any of the six configurations listed.
