Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light; Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Lexus RX300 2003 Owner's Manual

(f) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road
to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Lexus
dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or
