I'd live with the light as it will be a reminder to check the oil on a regular basis.

What does it mean when the oil light comes on a few days after an oil change

Hopefully not low on oil...(a must recheck oil level) with this indication...also look for an oil leak under your Isuzu. Could just mean that the "change oil soon" indicator has not been re-set...If you had the oil changed professionally, they should re-inspect this for you ASAP...Sounds like you take car of your car...don't let this go without a full inspection for oil level, and any leaks...Hope this helps.

A engine symbol with a wrench attached continues to appear on the dash of my 2006 chevy equinox

I know of no such warning light on the 2006 Chevy Equinox that shows a wrench with an engine. The wrench with an oil can beside it means that there is scheduled maintenance required as listed in your owner's manual. You will see this when it it time to change the oil. The light that shows an engine is the Check Engine light and comes on when there is a problem with the emissions system. It requires that the ECU be scanned with a scan tool to retrieve the code that has been set. A trained professional will use this code to repair the problem.

I have a 2006 equinox what is the indicator light with the wrench/fluid can? didn't get manual with it

This light usually indicates that the oil change is due.If an oil change was recently performed the light was probably not reset.

My check engine light on my 2006 Chevy Equinox keeps coming on. I have replaced the gas cap because the original one wouldn't screw on tight. I also took it to a repair shop and they replaced the evap vent...

I would bring it back to the shop that did the work. If the code is coming out as a problem with the evap system it is not abnormal for the system to take 2 or 3 days for it to read again.

Like 3 days after i got my oil changed in my 2006 chevy impala the low oil pressure shut off engine light comes on

This is an idication of a severe oil leak. Check the oil level in your engine to see if there is any in it. Add to the full mark and return to the oil change shop and ask them to see where the leak is. Do not operate without oil. Severe engine damage will occur. Hope this helps Moe
