I didnt know this but my grandma has a 3.0 Acura CL coupe she occasionally drives. I thought she just rode a bike. Its got 98k miles and is super clean. I'm going to change the oil while I'm down here and it needs a timing belt at 105k. Anything else I should do / check in these cars? Are they any good? She offered me it when she can't drive anymore.
Transmission fluid... Never been changed either
Do you mean a 3.0 CL? Good cars, there are two generations so procedures may differ between them. Good, well-built cars overall, but...
Absolutely for the love of god change the transmission fluid and use the OE stuff, that was from the horror years of Honda automatics tied to V6s.

Only if you want to change the trans right away. Do a drainand fill, drive, repeat. do about 3 of those in a few thousand miles and enjoy.
