If I was leasing a car, I would not change the oil until the monitor told me to or whatever the "normal" oil change interval is. I would go to the easiest place, like Jiffy Lube, and just be sure they used the proper viscocity and that is it. If the maintenance is not listed in the owners manual, it would not get done no matter what the dealer "recommended". Come to think of it, I did this exact thing to a Saturn company car I had a few years back because we had a fleet maintance coupons that instructed 7500 miles oil changes and an air filter every 30K. The Saturn had the GM "no Maintenace until 100K miles" so the spark plugs(platinum) or coolant(DexCool)were never even changed. Even car washes were only paid for once a month. Returned it at 100K and never had a problem. HMMMMM.
