Default Low Oil Warning

Does the 2002 LS430 have a system that will tell you if your engine oil is low? Or is the only way to tell is to continually check the dipstick. Also, is there a low coolant warning that appears if too low or is this also a manual check?

Thanks

if your car is low enough on coolant to the point where it becomes an issue the temp gauge will rise AKA warning...

I have 138,000 miles and have quit even bothering to check the oil level between 5,000 mile oil changes. Absolutely does not use oil! Have used Mobil 1 since owned for the last 118,000 miles.
