Used flaxseed oil, 6 months later it's flaking and rusting. What would you recommend instead? (self.castiron)

I'm from Argentina and I can not buy stuff like "crisco", I need specific oils that I can buy in any brand, like sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, etc.

Found this guide which suggest avocado oil: https://theflattopking.com/best-oil-for-seasoning-cast-iron/

I'm having trouble finding refined avocado oil though, all I can find is cold-pressed/virgin.

I've heard that a lot about flaxseed oil, it's really common. I've always used crisco, so I can't suggest anything else from personal experience. But this is a site I trust, and he has some alternatives on this page
