Minimal Obligation??

I leased my car through Honda Finance, and am wondering what kind of service I am obligated to do. I want to know how little I can get away with?? Are they expecting me to do those costly A, B, and C services??? Obviously I will be changing the oil regularly, but Id like to keep my service costs to a bare minimum. Thanks in advance!!

When you turn the lease back in , you will have to show AHFC service records from the previous 12 months.

So for my 3 year lease, I don't have to worry about the firts 2 years? I should start worrying about being up to par only the last year? Interesting. Thanks

More stringent than that!

This is from the Honda website:

Documented proof of vehicle servicing within the last 6 months or
7,500 miles should be provided to ITS at the time of inspection.

Even with a 48 month lease you are only talking like 6-8 oil changes (which you can do yourself), a few tire rotations and a couple air filters. If you wanna drive a car like this, be prepared to service it! Get the most out of your car! Most of the major stuff occurs after your lease is far expired.
