Could be numerous reasons. Coils going bad seem to be popular with theses maxima's. Get the code read and see what it tells ya.

Some places will pull that code for free like Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts. Best not to ignore it. BTW, what was your top speed?

It means open the hood and check your oil level. Add 2 Qts and the light will go away.
