Also, an oil pan can fail in only two ways I can imagine: 1) the gasket could leak or 2) a road hazard could penetrate it, both of which you would be aware of due to leaking oil. Your note doesn't indicate you were aware of a leak so I'm wondering about dealer integrity on this item.
Additionally, I would think you would be aware of any starter problems which you don't mention so I'm also wondering about the necessity to replace/repair it.
Just my paranoia as I don't trust any dealer.

You're right an oil pan can't be defective unless there's a hole in it caused by a road hazard in which case it wouldn't be a warraty claim. I'm sure it's the oil pan gasket and he posted the whole unit.
The dealer is definitely doing in uneccessary work in that I'm sure all 4 O2 sensors haven't failed.
And Chilliwilli.. expect to pay the bill for the rear light replacement and alignment as those aren't covered.
