My 2020 V6 AWD a spec fell victim to the spun bearing. Acura isnt going to honor their warranty so I'm trying to find a replacement. Wikipedia lists
J35Y6 - VCM

• 2015–2020 Acura TLX
• 2016–2022 Honda Pilot
• 2017+ Honda Ridgeline
• 2018+ Honda Odyssey (North America)[26]
• 2019+ Honda Passport.

Will an engine from any of those fit? The service advisor of the dealership where my car is said she wasn't 100% sure and to ask LKQ... Appreciate any and all help

You have a 2020 why wouldn’t they honor their powertrain warranty? That’s definitely odd for them to refuse to replace your engine.

I did all of my own oil changes and didn't keep every single receipt so they told me I'm SOL

Yikes, I’d definitely look around on LKQ, hit up Copart see if you can pull an engine out of a totaled TLX V6 AWD

If you purchased the oil/filter w/ a credit card, you may be able to obtain a copy of the receipt through whoever your card is with or possibly the store itself. IIRC, they can obtain a copy when someone contests a charge.

So, if your dealer is saying it's not covered you can escalate to Acura Client Relations (ACR). If ACR is telling you it's not covered you can request a case review from the National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS).

I would make sure to note any discussion in these forums, and elsewhere, regarding connecting rod bearing failure such as this:

Connecting rod bearing failure

If you've had this failure, comment w/ your model year, trim level, SH-AWD or front wheel drive, mileage on the engine and oil at the time of the failure. Include the affected cylinder, if you know which one it was. If this has occurred more than once in the same vehicle, include how many times...

This likely would have happened regardless, but yeah the warranty does require receipts.
