The last regular question of the week. Tomorrow is the bonus question. Today's question is in the food category. Here it is:
What edible oil is also known as "LEAR" oil (for Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed)?
Yesterday's answer was SABENA (Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne or Belgian company for exploiting aerial navigation).

What do I have left? 4? OK: 4 points
"Rape" shows up pretty often on Engrish.com

even though it's a perfectly grammatical English word, not a mistranslation. Just got that, y'know...... unfortunate homonym!
Rapeseed Oil is also known as Canola Oil.

HA! I just had this same question on Sploofus the other day! For 4 points (or whatever I have left), it's CANOLA OIL.

4 points. The more marketable name for rapeseed oil is canola oil.

Highest I've got left: 6 pts
You're probably looking for Canola oil, although I believe it is also known as Grapeseed oil. They just added a letter "g" to "rapeseed" so it wouldn't sound so much like "rape".

As far as I can tell, Grapeseed oil is a completely different oil made from the seeds of grapes.

Missed yesterday, will likely miss tomorrow and no clue today. Not a strong finish...
Olive oil? Will wager what ever is left.

I think that is canola oil. I've only read about it. I don't think I've ever had any.
That is for whatever I have left, which I believe to be six points.
Thank you for your excellent questions, Mr. Uly!
