The former: top it off using 1L and you're done. The 17k oil service is an actual oil change that is due at that time, not sooner. I took my car to the dealer the first 4 times to get this done (too chicken to even pop the hood on a leased car), until even the dealer told me to just have a few quarts in the trunk and save myself a trip each time, because these cars are known to go through oil every few thousand miles and it's very easy to DIY.
