Warning lights to do with low oil pressure are a bit like slamming the door after the horse has bolted, the oil pressure light on most cars comes on at about 8psi, if it gets that low during normal driving revs then the engine will likely be damaged anyway.
I'm not aware of mazda 3's having DPF regen problems like the 6, leading to diluted engine oil, but i'd be inclined to search on the net for others that might have suffered similar problems...you will be struggling to prove it though even if it were the case unless an independent engineer found excessive fuel in the engine oil.
As above, by leaving the service so far over you effectively gave Mazda the perfect get out of jail card for the rest of the warranty period of the car, they might have overlooked a thousand miles but three, not a chance.
If its just crank bearings you might get away with a rebuild with new bearings, if the engine is ruined and Mazda wont play ball, and i doubt they will, then a search for an engine from an accident damaged car would be your best bet.
