  To me it seems that nobody cares, not the driver or the lease company. All priced in. „Don’t be gentle it’s a rental“ Everybody drives their car as if they stole them.

  Oil changes? How does the ECU know? Only if someone resets the oil change indicator. All you have to do is reset the indicator and not change the oil.

    There are other sensors and that can indicate oil condition. Most don't have that, but we can't rules it out '

    Or the cap on/off sensor, other oil warnings, etc.
