Ok heard back from one of them:

I received the X-431R. With a bit of fiddling I was able to find English, but could reset the oil change indication. I got a communications error. I'm just guessing ... do I need to do an update first? Has anyone updated this device using OSX?

The first time I used the X-431R I also got a communications error. I solved that by selecting "Europe" instead of "America" during the service reset procedure.

FYI, the X-431 is no longer available, but has been replaced with the Creader 7S. I purchased one off of ebay and waited a couple weeks for it to arrive from China.
Hooked it up to my car, and was able to reset my oil service light.
Nice to know you don't have to spend alot of money to be able to do this. Supposedly, this also will reset the ABS light, but I haven't tried it.

I'm not sure as I don't have a durametric.
The Creader 7s is pretty basic. Allows you to reset service light, reset brake light, look up and clear codes.
Here's a website with some more description:

It's really all I need, and for about $50 on ebay, well worth the investment. I'll probably only use it once a year or so (if even that).
