your engine is still under warranty, why do you think the dealership is going to deny the work?

Well what is going on is they're making a statement that i ran it out of oil and continued to drive it that way. I got very stern with them today and now the story is changing. he told me that they're going to change the oil and filter and the coild packs in the morning because that's why the check engine light was on in the first place! Does this sound like a scam to anyone other than myself?

yes, it does. If they truly thought that you ran it without oil, they would leave it at that. Changing the oil and changing coil packs would not fix that, and they know that, of course.
Definitely continue to "get stern with them" and don't hesitate to bring it to a second mazda dealer, or call Mazda USA

Changine the plugs / coils packs will not fix your engine if it needs to be replaced.
What diagnostics have they performed? Compression Test?
Did your car have the recall procedure performed last year?

well i got my car back and it seems to be running ok, they replaced the cat O2 sensor coil packs spark plugs changed the oil and filter and did a fuel system clean and flush. I ended up having to pay $640 out of pocket to get this car out of the dealership on top of the 450 for rental car. I am so pissed about this whole situation i could just kill someone!!!

Good to hear that it seems to be resolved. For anyone who would actually need a renesis replacement, I can offer warrantied, photo documented rebuilds in the $1300-2500 range depending on what is wrong with the existing core.
