Should I change the oil on a leased car?
I have a leased car that seems to run a bit rough. Can I change the oil on the car even though it's a lease?

Yes!
If you lease a car, you’re required to keep up on maintenance as required by your contract. Failure to do so may result in fines at the end of the lease.
An oil change will fall under the maintenance contract, so you should get your oil changed every 3,000 miles or every six months. Some leased cars come with an
extended warranty
that may cover the cost of this service. However, if problems with your car are due to a collision or unexpected event—like extreme weather—your car insurance may cover it. If you need a new car insurance policy, shop around with
