Maintenance for Honda lease

So I got my car lease from a different State and I am now just over the 6 month timeline from lease purchase. I don't drive much but wonder if Honda specifically wants honda dealer for maintenance? I remember in my prior car lease, the prior dealer convinced me (got sick of him) that it's a must and they follow the Honda timelines and requirements.
Others told me no, it's not mandatory as long as your car gets serviced somewhere...so my question is the $500 maintenance plan at Honda dealer a must? Or just go to any car shop like Midas and have them check the oil, fluids and that stuff every 6 months or so? or at least do they know what Honda wants in its timeline?
Lastly, how much does this cost of oil change, fluids refills and check? if just $20 or so then I guess no point to pay $500 because I would only do 5-6 checks of those during the whole lease period. I do care about the lease value because I had equity in my prior lease and was able to get $1,000 extra!
