I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Of course tuma hutra but that’s only if there is no tahor oil. So they looked for tahor oil and they found one jug. Hashem did a neis and the tahor oil lasted eight days to show chavivus for bnei yisrael that they wouldn’t have to use tamei oil. (BTW it’s not so pashut that the issue was tuma and tahara. It could be that there simply was no other oil valid for the menora since menora oil had to be specially processed. It took eight days to process proper oil.)
