It is an oil-injected engine so it could be telling you it is low on oil. It should be checked and added too ASAP if it is low. If its not low then bring to Mazda and they will apply the TSB if it is needed. You will need to add one quart of oil about every 1-2k miles depending on how you drive it. There are two marks on the oil dip stick. One point eight quarts(1.8qts) is in between those marks. Dont worry about oil use, if its not useing oil then worry.
