As you know you start your car up it comes on then goes off. Well this time it did not. First thought that came to mind is its just a reminder to change my oil and what not Im near 3000 miles 2.1k right now I think. I bought the car with 30k on it so this is the first time I am experiancing this light coming on. Just wondering if anyone had advice. Needless to say Im taking it to the garage on Friday after work anyways for my own safety.

Not around L.A. anymore. like Ref said, they want you to pay for it first, then get your money back. That's bullshit, but I guess too many people were running off with them or placing blame on Autozone for having the employee read the codes when the cars break down.
You can also buy a used Hypertech in the for sale section, to read and delete the codes.

the SES light doesn't come on when the computer thinks it's time for an oil change (which will vary, BTW, based on engine load/stress)- there's a dedicated indicator light for that, and it'll be pretty plain.

Also, for about a $100 you could buy your own scanner. I've saved myself hundreds of dollars with that thing as it has allowed me to diagnose and fix problems on my own...
