The mechanic that replaced the O2 Sensor never told me the code, but showed the O2 Sensor and it was in really bad shape. The end was covered with crud, doubt it could of got a reading at all.

I've driven it about 5 or 6 times since I got it fixed. I never knew about about the code staying until you drive it so many times. Would leaving the battery cable off for a longer period of time help it go away quicker?

I appreciate all your help.
