Yea, when i'm crusing around 70-80 miles. So, its nothing major right??
Should get it repaired?? Its the software problem right??

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.

not a software problem... they changed the oil pan a little.... the dealer can check you vin # to see if yours needs to be replaced....

just make sure you have oil in the car..

So was the oil on or near the bottom line? Mazda ask that you use 5-20w oil. We are all curious....

Do not wait for the warning light to pop up to do a fill up.

Then it is the TSB's I listed on first POST. Print them out and bring to dealer, they will fix N/C.
