Soybean oil is extremely common - almost all oils labeled simply as
"vegetable oil" are actually soybean oil. Check labels at the
supermarket - the actual oil used will be in the ingredients list. Plain
Wesson, IIRC, is 100% soybean oil.

That said, I can't believe using any of the common highly refined oils
(canola, corn, peanut, etc.) would make much of a difference - they're
all almost tasteless.
