Is this normal with stainless steel pots?

I'm confused. Does it say why you have to coat stainless steel with oil? That sounds like the sort of thing you do with carbon, not stainless.
There are ways and means of getting rid of absolutely ANY residue, trace, whatever, but at this point I'd be wary. Read your warranty very carefully before going any further. If there is a problem here, you don't want to find that they will only take back a pan that is basically new or something of that sort.
