“The oil that they found, with the seal of the K”G, was the oil for his Mincha.”

That is one pshat but not everyone is maskim. A big problem with that pshat is that the quatity of oil for his mincha was considerably less than would be required to light for even one day. So if I remember correctly I think some want to say that this was the neis that even on the first day the oil burned a whole day.
