It is only common if you fail to keep perspective.
There are NOT numerous posts on Mazda6Club complaining about oil consumption.
Mechanical problems occur to a degree with every type of automobile, however, while Mazda is not the best nor the worst, oil consumption with the 2.3L is uncommon.

In the small group that is on the web site there are a note worthy amount. yes I agree that all automobiles have fault that was never the issue. while the group may huge there are enough people who do service and take care of there cars that still have issues. I don't know where you get your information from. I would like to know. Are you an automobile expert or just some one who reads car and driver for all there reference material.

Toyota is regarded at the most reliable brand in the world. Toyota also is the leader in engines that cause engine sludge and causes engines to blow, and Toyota will not cover these engines. This group is in the tens of thousands, where as the 2.3L oil consumption issue is a hand full of people. Take that as you may. Every vehicle has issues, no matter who makes it.
What year is your 2.3? I have a 2005 2.3 with 33K, no issues of anykind.

Refresh my memory...is your local dealer helping you out? If not, I would push for them to call their district service rep. and have them tell him/her what is going on. This is a rare circumstance for this engine.

I have talked to the dealer, the factory service rep. and mazda customer service and none of them can even see my point of view as far as what a warranty is and what should be covered. I asked if there was a regional factory rep. or someone higher up the chain that would be willing to take a look at the issues with my car. The customer service rep. told me that there was no one higher than the factory district rep. who made the call as to what would be done. I find it hard to believe that the district rep. doesn't have a boss.

Check the warranty manual closely. I believe there is a arbitration clause/procedure for warranty disputes.

This seems like it should be an easy case. If you have the receipts showing regular oil changes, I'm not sure how they can claim neglect? HOw many miles before had you changed the oil?
Stupid question...Does the Mazda 6 have a "low Oil" light?
