Can I use a different type of oil instead of canola oil?

seem to be a good recipe for bisquik. However I guess there is no bread in a bread recipe either. That is why we have a recipe to make bread.

Very, quick and easy recipe for home made bisquick. It is no problem to double the size of the recipe. It stores well in a sealed container and makes a great crust for slow cooked apple pie. Thank you.
Is there no Bisquick in this Bisquick recipe? Am I missing something, or was it left out?
It's a recipe to make bisquick (or very close to it) - so no, it doesn't actually contain bisquick.
