The car is over due for service and you are the owner. You should not even question if you should change the oil or not.
If the simple fact that you should be responsible enough to do it is not enough, if they can prove that you purposely "mistreated" the vehicle during the lease period, you may be paying a lot more than the cost of an oil change.
Honestly, I was going to be nice about this but I just cant. You are Pathetic for even thinking of waiting an additional 6 months.

Here is a warning, if you don't do your service B, the dealership can and most likely will impose a fine at the end of your lease that's gonna be at least double the amount of service B cost.
Don't think they won't notice if you reset the system, they can still tell when they service/inspect the car upon lease end.

I agree with both of them (C300sport and 451/443=EW) regarding the oil change and being responsible while in possession of a lease auto and I would strongly recommend that you change the oil at your earliest convenience as the car has only 21000 miles and by avoiding the oil change you would damage the engine, I'm sure you wouldn’t want that.

HAHAHA, you think im funny...funny like a clown... I make you laugh.
Anyway... I simply said it like I see it. DONT BE CHEAP! and that is what you are concidering with the question you asked. Honestly, if you cant afford to service an MB you shouldnt buy one
. Or any other car for that matter. I see you as one of those guys who say's there car is mint when trading it, but obviously mistreat and or neglect the car because your selling it or giving it back! That my frugal friend.... is a boner move! Howevery I forgive you if you make the right choice.

Hey everyone, it's another internet tough guy! 
Seriously though, change the oil. Many of us find it insulting that would consider skipping your regular maintenance on a lease when you know full well that soon someone else will be buying that car.
