I have 4 months left on my 987S lease. It has 38,000 miles on it. The indicator light now says I have to take it in for service since it is approaching the 40,000 mile service mark. The dealer tells me that it is a recommended service to replace the brake fluid. It's close to $300. The brakes work fine.

My question is, since I am returning the car and getting a new lease on a 997S PDK, should I just ignore it? This question is also a matter of principle for me since I hate sinking money into a leased car. I'll know better to get a 36 months rather than a 48 like I did on my BoxsterS. If any of you think it is a safety issue (as my dealer impressed upon me), then please say so. If I decide not to get it taken care of, can I have the dealer reset the light even though I deny the service be performed?

Thanks
Jon
