Leather seats flaking before first oil change

[Eroc88]

Looks like that damage is caused by someone sliding across the bolster with something metal in their pockets.

New engines come with new oil right?

Negative, assembly lube only, filled after installation.

I have the same seats and worried about that happening. I try my best not to slid off the seat to get out. I grab the handle, lift up and step on the side step. I didn't want early wear from sliding. I have about 1500 miles, and have cleaned and conditioned the seats once already. Sitting in the sun probably doesnt help with the top and doors off like I have been for the past few days.

My leather does have the blue stitching.
