It might be time for a new gas cap. I was getting a code like that and after I replaced the cap the code never came back.

Get yourself an inexpensive OBDII reader, this will allow you to reset the codes. Many CELs will not reset by hemselves. This is if you don't want to get an Ultragauge or Dashdaq, etc.

Is the code you're seeing showing in the mileage window when you first start your car? Or is it a P0730 code on a reader?

Should have said it's a double Wrench code and -730.

That is telling you that you are 730 miles overdue for a oil change.

I had the oil changed about 1000 miles back.
I tried the reset everyone talks about to no
avail. My obdII won't interface for some reason
so I guess I'll take it to autozone to reset.

Good luck with that ! ( the Autozone people are gonna look at you with a stupid expression on their face )
This is not re-settable via the ODBC port, it is done via a **** on the dash.
The problem usually is that since this **** switch is used so seldom, it gets dirty and does not make good contact.
Here are the owner's manual instructions :

The counter can also be reset by any individual after the
indicated service has been performed. To do so:
1. Turn key to the ON/RUN position.
2. Within one second press the ****/button twice.
3. The present status for days or distance is displayed.
Within 10 seconds turn the key to OFF/LOCK.
4. Press and hold the ****/button, while turning the key to ON/RUN again.
The present status for days or distance is displayed once more. Continue to hold the ****/button.
After approximately 10 seconds, a signal sounds and the display shows 7,000 miles (Canada: 11,000 km) for approximately 10 seconds.
5. Release the ****/button.

You had better tell him what **** to press.

Looking at the dash its the **** on the left. Double wrench , means it time to lube an maintenance other parts of the car. Not only oil change.
