Hello
So i have recently purchased a 2026 type s. Demo model with approx 3k km. As part of getting the car ready the dealer was doing a fresh oil change.

Was supposed to pick up the car today but got a call and was told that the oil cooler gasket was defective and needed to replaced as it was leaking and it’s a 6 hour job.

The car had been previously serviced and no issue was noted.

I am not too hands on with cars in general (all maintenance done by shops or dealerships). Should i be concerned about this at all? I do feel slightly uncomfortable the fact that it’s basically a brand new car and something like would need to be replaced right off the bat.

Will be replaced under warranty but just concerned about any long term issues with this or if anyone’s had a similar issue? Appreciate anyone’s advice on this.

It's just an o ring. Nothing catastrophic. Their lifetime is like 100k miles typically.

Jimothy on the assembly line probably just twisted it up or got some of his lunch on it during build so now it's leaking.
