If there is no sign of leakage it must be burning it, do you have any blue smoke?

no smoke or anything coming out, nor smell.. seems very good.. im thinking that maybe mazda engine are normal to top-up oil evry after a thou mile or more. as some one told me that theres some engine you really need to top-up. i reckon, mazda might be one of them, what do you think??//

If its not causing any immediate problems I wouldn't worry about it, its much cheaper to top it up than have something done about it. Some engines do use oil and some don't there may be reasons why but you cant do much about it.
