Frequently asked questions
What is the wheel lug torque for an Acura TLX?
It is 80 to 94 lbf·ft (108–127 N·m) depending on model year. For 2021–2025 the figure is 94 lbf·ft (127 N·m / 13.0 kgf·m).
Did the TLX torque specification change between model years?
The TLX torque specification changed over its production run: 80 lbf·ft applies to 2015–2020, while 94 lbf·ft applies to 2021–2025. Using the wrong generation's figure can under- or over-tighten the wheel — match your model year exactly.
Should I grease the wheel studs on a TLX?
Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.
In what order should I tighten the wheel fasteners on a TLX?
Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern in two or three passes, finishing with a calibrated torque wrench at the figure for your year, with the wheel on the ground. Re-check after 50–100 miles.
