I have a 2007 Chevy Equinox that displayed a message of "low oil pressure, shut off engine. Oil level is fine, but did add some last week. What does this mean?
Red oil light keeps flashing on and off on my Chevy equinox 2005 I changed the filter and oil . What can I do to fix the problem or find out what it is.
If your Oil Pressure Sending Unit went bad, it will do this
If you have a Blockage in the Oil system, it can do it
If you are low on oil, it will do this
If you have done Damage to the Engine, it can do this
If you increase your oil to 20W-50 and the light goes off, you have a worn journal or Bearing Wear

Turn the ignition
to ON without starting the engine. Fully press and release the
accelerator pedal three times within five seconds. If the CHG OIL
SOON light flashes two times, the system is resetting. Turn the key
to OFF, then start the vehicle. If the CHG OIL SOON light comes back
on, the system has not reset, repeat the procedure. Follow this
procedure to reset the GM Oil Life System using the DE 100 Series
Radio®. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON and the radio off. Press and
hold the DISP button on the radio for at least five seconds until
SETTINGS is displayed. Press the SEEK up or down arrow to scroll
through the main menu. Scroll until OIL LIFE appears on the display.
Press the PREV or NEXT button to enter the submenu. RESET will be
displayed. Press the DISP button to reset. A chime will be heard to
verify the new setting and DONE will be displayed for one second.
Once the message has been reset, scroll until EXIT appears on the
display. Press the DISP button to exit programming. A chime will be
heard to verify the exit.

it will say in your owners manual but i believe you turn your ignition key to the run position not the start. and pump the gas pedal 3 times with in 5 seconds

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
