By all means, check your oil, but please DO NOT add any "***** nilly" ... very bad for any Lexus! 
... could lead to adhoc, and that's definitely trouble!

if that was true then anytime you are at a high RPM you would have the same problem.
so revving in neutral and holding around 5000rpm+ will give the same issue.
which doesnt make sense because at 100mph the LS, my 2nd gen at least is ~4000rpm or less, depending on what gear i keep it in.

Your oil level is low but probably not by that much.
If you think about it, when driving THAT FAST, engine RPMs are way up so more oil is being sucked up from the pan than gravity can return it. Less oil in the pan, light comes on. When you slowed down, RPMs went down, less oil being sucked up and giving gravity a little more time to return the oil back to the pan. More oil in the pan, light goes off.
Simple physics. Add more oil and you should be good up to 120.

people need to stop interjecting their opinions on what's safe or not. as long as everything is working properly, doing 100 mph in an LS (a car designed to go over 160 mph) on say an open interstate when its not raining or windy is not going to put anyone in any grave danger. doing 100 when everybody else is doing 50 is very dangerous yes, but on it's own 100 mph is just a number, everyone always treats 100 like you'll burst into flames if you reach it or something. and my car is only revving at just over 3000 rpm at that speed which is nothing for a well maintained 1uz and a341/650

my point is they came here to help diagnose an issue and not to be told if they're not being safe
