I'm not aware of Jesus quoting oral tradition. That is some evidence of anywhere from a preference to an exclusivity.

Are you saying that everything Jesus said or did was based on the written Torah? (beware of the trap about to be sprung!)

I admit I have no idea what the trap is, and I am curious. :) In my opinion, everything Jesus said or did was not based on the written Torah, but rather solely on the Father's will. I was just saying that I am unaware of a case where Jesus quoted oral tradition as authority, whereas he quoted scripture as authority very often.
