what's an acceptable oil? olive? peanut? I was told to use olive oil (not even EVOO except for taste related) so that's what I get but it's impossible to know anything.

Anything thats mono or saturated fat. Mono is probably healthier. But coconut oil, beef tallow, duck fat, butter are all healthier than canola, sunflower, or soybean oil or crisco.

Canola oil is pretty high in mono fatty acids actually. Not as high as some others but pretty good for a commonly available one.

It is, but it's still too high in polyunsaturated fats, most of which are omega6s.

Imho, it's vital to reduce your omega6s as much as feasible. Given our lifestyles and diets, even most "good diets" are still too high in omega6s.
