Are there problems with oil levels on the Mazda CX-5

I am thinking of buying a Mazda CX5 Sport diesel ex demo but have read that in Australia there have been problems with DPFs & oil levels over the X mark?

Do you know of any problems regarding this? Not many CX5s around plus a 4 month waiting list.

That's why I am looking at this car - but my current 6 has been 100% reliable. I do 44 mile trip most days.
