I did not understand from the post that the car is consuming oil, only that is has the oil light on. If I would have this situation, I would first make sure that the car has the recommended oil serviced. It's a used car, you don't know who and what oil they put in.

First, I would do an oil change, 0W-20 says in the manual, go at any oil change shop. See if the oil light goes away. If the light is still there, then you can return the car. Do the oil change yesterday!

When I picked up my rental for a work trip, I couldn't resist not to take a picture.

I beg to differ. His post starts with a question. I simply tried to answer his question

ON my previous CX-5 (2013) my key fob battery drained completely. Tried to open the car and it was not working at all so I forced my way in by opening the trunk and then the back door.

Another advice: stick with your plan. Oil change and maybe tire rotation. Nothing less, nothing more. Make sure they have 0W20 or 5W30, whatever oil you use for your car, and if they try to hook you for something else, don't budge: " I'll think about it, I'll do it next time".

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Oil change can be done pretty much anywhere, any auto shop can or should do it with no problems.

Six Mazda cars in front of a house! That is sick!

Had the same fault recently. Cleared it two-three time but it came back on. The engine felt lazy, lack of power, slow acceleration. Possible fix, the diagnostic said, reprogram the PCM. I did not want to give in and spend the money for that so I kept looking for some other cheaper ways to fix...
