I just got a 1990 Toyta Celsior and I have this light that comes up when I go over 120km ?? It looks like a oil light but the car has plenty of oil , anyone have a clue?

it's the oil level light, indicating you have low oil. also check your transmission oil too!

I think he is referring to the other one, the one with the lights on the back of the car. If you are using LED lights, sometimes that has such low voltage that the car thinks the bulbs are burned out.

He clearly stated it looks like an oil light so I would take timmys advice and double check you fluids. The faster you drive the bigger demand for oil.

The warning light that looks to some like a car with its brake lights are on is telling your that you are driving far over what used to be the 100 km/h maximum speed limit on expressways in Japan and that you are about to be thrown in the slammer! Some expressways in Japan now have a speed limit of 120 km/h.

If it hasn't been modified, this Celsior is probably speed limited to 180 km/h / 112 mph.

You can probably find more about this on a U.K. Lexus forum since lots of Japanese market LS400's were imported there.
