I was having a "what if" discussion with a friend who also leases an Acura. What if you did this with your car on a 3-year lease?
1. Never changed the oil until just before turn in.
2. Never changed the engine air filter or cabin air filter.
3. Used regular octane gas instead of premium.
4. Never waxed the vehicle.
How does Acura check that the vehicle has been properly maintained during the lease period? Are system codes generated to show if routine maintenance is done?
If I were to buy a CPO from Acura, I would worry that the previous owner could have done one or all of the above, and Acura wouldn't really know. It doesn't ask for maintenance receipts at turn in.
