It's really becoming a little annoying.
The FSS warning is triggered by time or mileage. If it shows a clock and a wrench, I'm pretty sure it's telling you that service is due based on elapsed time (in days) rather than mileage. So in your case, i'm guessing that it's saying your "A" service is 248 days overdue, which could definitely be the case if your car sat around for an extended period of time before it was sold.
Single wrench = "A" service
Two wrenches = "B" service
Just get the oil changed and make sure the dealer resets the FSS. If they forget to reset it, you can do it yourself, but it's kind of a pain. The instructions for resetting it are on this forum, just do a search.
