Well our Mazda 6 is at the Mazda dealer with the same issue, coming up with low oil pressure check engine. I will put more information up tonight when i get home. Hope to hear from Mazda by tomorrow afternoon.Bought the car 22 April 2021, had 128,000kms on it and I do a lot of driving to work and is now up to 148,000kms.

Did an engine flush and oil change on Thursday 1/7/2021. Drove to Banyo from Coomera and back then headed south on the Saturday. Got to Tugan and low oil pressure warning came on.
Got towed to a service centre and it showed a code of P253F (Deteriorated oil or wrong oil type). Drove the car home and dropped the sump to check the oil pickup and it was all clean. No carbon deposits or carbonisation of the oil that I could see. Did an oil and filter change and went fine until 1/9/2021 when it said to check the system.
Did another oil change and went fine until Tuesday 28.9.2021 when it showed the same warning again. Scanned and it showed P06DE (Engine oil pressure control circuit stuck on). My wife went to drive a small distance and the low pressure warning came on. Changed the oil and filter (Mazda filter used) but warning keeps coming up, even when I clear it and sit stationary and rev to 2 or 3 thousand revs.
Didn't clear the code and had it towed to a Mazda dealer last night. When I spoke to Mazda this morning, the service person asked if there was any lights or messages last night and I said yes the low oil pressure warning message and the check engine light. I said I didn't clear it.
They said that there was no check engine light or warning when they drove it into the service area.
Hope to find out tomorrow what they have found.

 

UPDATE:
Car is now as a technical case with Mazda as they say they found carbonisation in the oil. The car had the recall for the Intake shutter valve and a lot of other recalls but from what I have heard they are a band aid fix on this motor.

I am hoping to have some sort of news soon.

 

Mazda asked for total service history, then asked for photos of the injectors, brass washers, cam cover seal. They have now come back and said motor needs a rebuild which so far they are covering.

Sort of thinking it is like rebuilding a hand grenade and this issue will come back.

Anyone have experience with this?
