Alternator light at high speeds? Check the belt. if it is shiney on
the inside, it may be slipping. You also could be in need of a
replacement alternator soon.

Oil light, could be several things. Too little oil. Wrong oil type.
Wrong filter. Bad wiring. Begin at the beginning continue on until
you get to the end and then stop.
