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.

Canola oil (also called rapeseed oil in many countries outside the US) is usually recommended. It’s what the cast iron manufacturer Lodge uses to season their skillets.
