So for others having a lease return car that may have been neglected but aren't sure what are some maintenance items that can be done? What do I ask for? I get my oil changes done normally and have gotten the rear diff serviced. It's at 38k now.
What oil should I run? Scary stuff. Glad it worked out for you.

If cost is no option i'd get Redline or Motul because they are group 5 ester based oil.

Royal Purple also a GF-5 oil (actually beyond GF-5 spec). Dramatic difference in my experience. I used Motul in all my Italian bikes but I would not hesitate to use Royal Purple in the G (I do currently use it) and can be found fairly easily in your local auto parts stores. Motul will most likely need to be mail-ordered and will be more expensive.

This time around they replaced the timing cover assembly, camshaft sprocket and VCT solenoid. Car seems to be driving well. Also, the vibration at idle (which they said was nothing) has abated significantly and the high pitched noise i was hearing at WOT above 6500 RPM (which they said was normal intake noise) is gone.
