Oil Pressure Drop during high speed driving
Hello, Guys.
Yesterday while driving around 180km/h on HWY i have noticed that "Oil Pressure" light on my dash have been flashed for a few seconds...
I was thinking it is my illusion, and continue driving at around 160 km/h.
Later on i have braked to around 100-110 km/h and right away the light came to flash for a 2-3 seconds again.
Does anybody familiar with such issue? If so, what was the reason of issue?
Any additional info will be supplied if required.

Info: IS250 2012 FSport, 100,000 km, 10,000 after maintenance - 5000 km more to next (as service advices once per 15k km), oil slightly dark (not much!), oil level on dipstick maybe 1-2mm lower than highest mark.

Are you sure it was oil pressure and not oil level? It's not at all uncommon for the low oil level warning to flash sporadically when the oil level drops a bit below the low mark on the dipstick.

The oil is little dark (but not junk yet). and yes, it was pressure light, not the one with waves below.
I am thinking of junk in filter... Called service and scheduled for wendsday morning, going to change engine oil and filter, tranny oil and filter and a serpentine belt. (belt is must at 105k km, tranny i wish to change oil and an engine oil - cauz of this problem, to test.)
