Default Please help. What is this light?

This light under the speedo flashes sometimes for about three seconds. It only happens at high speed. I have checked all fluids and they are fine.



I need to get an owners manual.
Thanks in advance.

If you register your car at lexusdrivers.com and check resources you can get pdf's of parts of the owner manuals.

I looked at the section for my 96 and found this pdf of the gauges and lights.

That is your check oil indicator. You may be running a little low or the sensor may be faulty.

SO......this is a "check oil level light" and not to be confused with the red "oil light"? Maybe the red oil light is a low pressure warning?

Haha.. The same problem has been going on with my 88 supra, 89 camry and 96 camry.

Exactly. The little line under distinguishes it from the oil pressure light.
