Pretty much all the time!

D3, D4, and D5 are all just *DRIVE* like on any automatic transmission, EXCEPT
that the number next to the D is the "highest gear the automatic transmission will go into".
The Acura just gives you a choice, in case you don't want to go into a higher gear (like if it's slippery traction or a steep hill, etc.)

1 means: Manual gear. FIRST GEAR ONLY.
2 means: Manual gear. SECOND GEAR ONLY.
D3 means: Use automatic transmission, but engine will never shift above 3rd gear.
D4 means: Use automatic transmission, but engine will never shift above 4th gear.
D5 means: Use automatic transmission, but engine will never shift above 5th gear.

if the bolt hole pattern for mounting is the same and the starters look identical, the only remaining check is the number of teeth on the pinion gear. it the count is not the same then it will not engage the ring gear correctly

When do I use the d 5 gear in in 2003 acura tl 3.2 liter

the car is quicker in d-4, but d-5 is like a overdrive on the open highway. good-day!! D4 for me unless I'm on the highway doing 55+. I think the car drives better in D4. I tend to get some hesitation between 30-50 in D5.
