I lease my vehicle, am I still responsible for the maintenance on it?

How do I know which parts should be replaced and when they should be replaced?

Your vehicle will come with an owners manual that will give you specific parts and mileage intervals for replacement.

Am I required to have maintenance performed at the dealer?
