Well, this has taught me a huge lesson. I am one of those "buy it CPO" guys but I am going to be real careful of anything off lease when service is rolled in, once a year is flat out insane for the sake of saving $100.
Once a year is ok if the car mostly sits and you don't use it as a daily driver. However, even if you drive 2000km a year, the oil must be replaced once a year.
Otherwise, I wouldn't keep one oil change more than 10.000 km.

I use my own oil every time too, they pay for the labour and filter once per year. The rest of the oil changes I pay for and I'm totally ok with that.
Just curious, what oil are you using?
