Low oil level light upon accel
On my 2006 Lexus GS 300 when I accelerate my low oil light comes on but goes out shortly after it comes on.... any ideas?

I second that, Check your oil, it's probably low and swishing around in the oil pan when ur accelerating, causing the light to come on

Oil light
I have exactly the same problem. Have you found the cause of it? My oil level is fine.

Oil Light coming on when accelerating
Sounds like a weak oil pump. May need to have it checked out.

Sometimes at the same time as the light comes on, I can hear some kind of noise through the vents for a few seconds. Sounds almost like a squeaky belt. Can the oil pump make a noise like that?

When you say your oil level is fine, is it on the high or low end of the "safe zone." And are you checking when the engine is hot or cold?
