What does the wrench dash light mean on my car?
I was driving home from work the other day and this yellow wrench appeared on my dash. I haven’t had a car for very long so I’m not familiar with what it means. What does the wrench dash light mean on my car?

A yellow wrench dash light is typically a car’s way of telling you that it’s time to schedule your next routine service appointment. If your car’s essential maintenance goes unaddressed, it could lead to larger issues later on.
An indicator light that depicts a wrench paired with an oil can may signal you have a low oil level, or it’s time to change your oil filter.
You can check your owner’s manual for additional information about your vehicle’s wrench light and what it means—as well as how you should respond when it turns on.
