The 2013 Acura TL comes standard with a 3.7-liter SOHC V6 engine producing 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated engine features Variable Timing Control (VTC) on both intake and exhaust camshafts, helping optimize performance and fuel economy. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters. This powerplant provides strong acceleration with 0-60 mph times around 6.2 seconds while maintaining reasonable fuel economy of approximately 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The 3.7L V6 requires premium unleaded fuel for optimal performance.

The 2013 Acura TL shares most parts with the 2012-2014 model years, as these represent the final generation of the TL before it was replaced by the TLX. Many engine components from the 3.7L V6 are also compatible with 2010-2011 TL models, though some sensors and accessories may differ. Body panels, interior trim, and suspension components are generally interchangeable within the 2012-2014 range. However, the 2009-2011 TL had a different front and rear fascia design, so exterior body panels from those years may not fit properly. Always verify part numbers when sourcing components, as mid-year changes can affect compatibility even within the same model year.

The 3.7L V6 in the Acura TL is generally reliable when properly maintained, though it has some known issues. The timing belt system requires attention around 60,000-80,000 miles, and the tensioner should be replaced preventively. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles are crucial, as some engines may consume oil at higher mileages. The Variable Timing Control system is generally robust but requires clean oil to function properly. Overall, with proper maintenance including timing belt service, regular oil changes with premium oil, and attention to cooling system maintenance, this engine can easily exceed 200,000 miles. Monitor oil consumption after 100,000 miles and address any leaks promptly.
