No, i just go at around the mileage it says on the sticker they put for the next service 
where can i get the sensor?
that is the oil PRESSURE light.
Replace the oil pressure sensor, its normally a $10 part. Make sure oil is full ( stupid dipsticks are hard to read). If your full on oil, replace the sensor. If you still have the oil light, then you have a serious problem!
Oil pressure lights dont kick on unless you are really low in oil, like 1qt only in the system. But its more common that sensors fail. I just replaced one on the GF's car not to long ago, cost me about $7-8. Large 24-26mm wrench. I know for the VQ30's the sensor is right by the oil filter. Most likely same for the VQ35.
about your yellow light, LOL lucky guess on washer fluid. Just fill it up and see if that goes away. I wouldn;t know if we had a washer fluid light, i always fill it every oil change and rarely use it.

rockauto has them from $7-13 
wow @ the only looking at the sticker thing but it doesn't surprise me at all. +80% people i know dont bother checking oil levels or even tire pressures every couple of months. They just drive the car, its more and more common now. Especially higher end cars, most owners dont care/ have time to check. They are lease cars or only 5 year cars until they sell so they dont care.
Reminds of the whole BMW maintenance free for 3 years, poor girl though it means you didn't need to bring it for for 3 years. So 40k on the ORGINAL oil and filter.
