In theory it is not too difficult to get into the canbus system and develop a tool/method of resetting the oil service.
The basic method is to connect into the canbus and record the messages while the service reset is being done with the main dealer tool. The tools to record (aka sniffing) the canbus activities are made up of various low cost devices readily available.
Provided you can identify the specific message, the message can be played back. There's a possibility that the message is encrypted, unlikely since you can hack the security system of many cars using this method. Another challenge might be that different software variants might have different messages.
Just waiting for somebody to do it.
