you did an oil change and didn't reset the the interval, no big deal as long as you log it for personal reasons

service data can be bought in many places ( even I can stamp your book for you ) but I wouldn't "its a case of soul searching" personlay its worthless because it can be replicated

P0130 = O2 sensor 1, bank 1 circuit malfunction,
P0150 = has 2 meanings ( heated (HO2s) 1, bank 2 and the same O2 side has failed ) which means that sensor needs to be replaced,
they could be both related because of wiring and sensor fail but I would be looking at P0150 as being the cause and yes the O2 sensors are very important because they directly increase fuel consumption
