Not changing the oil every 3000 miles on a Acura TSX cause the timing belt to go bad?
First of all, unless you have a 2010-2013 TSX with the 3.5L V6, your TSX doesn't have a timing belt! All 4-cylinder TSX models, from 2004-present, have a timing chain that doesn't require periodic changing or replacement.
Regardless, for the 2004-2005 TSX, Acura only requires an oil change every 10,000 miles or 1-year under Normal Operating Conditions. 2006 and newer TSX models have the Maintenance Minder System that monitors oil life and conditions and will let you know when it needs to be changed (not to exceed 10,000 miles or 1-year, though).
No one needs to change their oil every 3000 miles, that is a myth that dealers perpetuate so they can make more $$$ off of you! Ignore the dealership, your Owner's Manual or Maintenance Minder will tell you when your TSX needs an oil change.
One final note, make certain that the proper motor oil (specified in your Owner's Manual) is used at each oil change. To last for 10k miles, it's most likely synthetic so be sure they use it!

Do you have to run premium fuel in an Acura TSX?
No, you don't have to. I use regular fuel in my 2006, and it continues to get a clean checkup every time I take it to a body shop.
I believe that in the US at least Honda is not allowed to charge against the Acura warranty and vice versa. Not sure how it works in Europe but it may be the same.

How do you change rear brakes on 2007 Acura TSX?
I have a 2004 TSX and learned the hard way how to change the rear brakes and had to buy a rebuilt caliper for my mistake. Most brake calipers compress with a simple C-clamp to make room for the larger/newer brake pads. The rear brakes on a TSX are different and you'll notice they have a couple of grooves on the caliper piston. They make a tool that is sold at AutoZone that allows you to compress the caliper piston by rotating it clockwise back into the piston. (It looks like a metal cube with metal prongs sticking out) I also recommend using brake grease on the exposed caliper piston boot prior to compressing it as this will allow the piston to rotate without damaging the boot. Don't forget to bleed the brakes afterward since rotating the piston will likely allow some air into the brake caliper.
