It does not sound like you have a problem at all . You went away for "a while" - any more than a week or two and your battery will be down so it won't crank over very well and will be hard to start . The oil light comes on when the level is down - top it up . The foaming oil is a common problem - type in "dip stick foam" in search for that .

Yes call them tell them DAMNIT ITS UNDER WARRANTY! If you read the SSP letter it tells you what your entitled too and what # too call if you have any more questions...If you don't feel you can handle it show your parents that letter and tell them to handle it.....I would just call mazda and tell them about how the dealership you went too diagnosed your car over the phone...without looking at it and then went on to say your not covered....seems kinda shitty to me

Top off the oil & don't let it get low again. Don't call that dealership again, ever. Call the other one and set an appointment to have it checked out. But the safest bet is that you need to keep a closer eye on your oil level to avoid the oil light coming on. Good luck, and for the love of all things unholy - turn off you caps lock key!

I think your cars have RABIES!!! Hey man no problem, the reason why I know that is because I bought my car yesterday and took it to the dealer today to make sure it had all recalls and such...and they told me I had an extended warranty :-) :-)
