Any post maintenance engine runs should have revealed an oil leak. Sounds to me like they didn’t do them. This was an annual service so it was only an oil/filter change.

A week... I'd think a couple of good 'Merican mechanics should be able to do that in a day if they have all the parts. I've seen jet engines replaced in a couple hours, but all the quick change components were already on those.

These aren’t as easy as a QD setup. A week is good, rushing is how bad things happen, like oil leaks.
