Owners can reset the FSS now. It's explained clearly in the (seldom read) owner's manual.
The FSS system makes some sense to me, but it's the intervals that I don't like, so I simply modify how I use the system. I like that it tracks city vs. highway miles and I find that useful. However, the intervals for oil and filter changes are just not frequent enough for me.
Keep in mind that the majority of customers today have no idea of what it takes to keep a car in good shape for more than a few months. And why should they? The lease is only 36 months and then the thing goes back. Who cares? People have become conditioned to just making a continous payment for driving a car for the rest of their lives and minimizing maintenance costs is important when it comes to comparision shopping.
Many of us are "keepers" and like to maximize the amount of benefit we receive from the capital investment of our automobiles. In the case of folks like us, I wish there was a switch for the FSS to "car nut keeper-type" from "don't care leasing customer" so that the FSS would work as I wished it to specifically.
