I had done my oil change about 3 weeks before I was driving to work and I felt my car running different, when I brake and took a right turn, and the engine oil pressure came on, I checked and the amount of oil in my car was minimum, the car has no leaks and I had checked that with a mechanic, so the car is burning oil.. I had been talking to many mechanics and people from auto part stores about this problem on my engine, and they say that many, if not all of them Mazda3 cars from this year have that problem, and the problem is from the way it is manufactured.
