I would check your oil first. The Oil should be between the top dot and top line. If there is enough oil and the light still comes on the oil level sensor may be bad. Mazda as a TSB for it http://www.finishlineperformance.com...13-04-1341.pdf

Definitely check the oil. If your car is old enough that the dipstick does not have dots, the oil level should be closer to the top line than the bottom. Preferably right at the top line.
What year is your 8? Where have you been trying to download the manual?

04 6mt, under the L letter, couting from the bottom is service engine light, battery light, oil light and ? light, the ? light is what it is for? , I just check, the oil level is perfect, closes to the top hi line.

That is the low engine coolant light. Check your coolant level.
Also note that if coolant is at normal level then the sensor could be going bad. It is a know problem and there are a couple of things you can do:
1. Replace the coolant reservoir tank since the sensor is built into it.
2. The other is to unplug the sensor, and check your coolant level regularly.

its most likley the battery light, if it comes on after he cranks it then goes off. The batter is weak after cranking the engine and then goes off once the battery gets recharged
maybe?
