In mechanical pressing, the seeds are heated and then pressed to release the oil.

Peanut oil can be stored for up to 2 years or longer if stored correctly. It must be stored in an airtight container filled to the very top with as little air inside as possible. Store it in a glass container that is in a cool place with no sunlight at all. A refrigerator would be a perfect place. If it smells rancid or taste funny dispose of it.

Yes, it is more useful for cooking stir-fry though.
Perhaps you're confusing it with the caster oil which used to be used in racing - and from which the oil manufacturer Castrol takes its name, and the smell of which was so magical and memorable...
Does the peanut oil carry your vehicle manufacturer's requirement code, such as Mercedes-Benz MB 229.3, VW 505.00, BMW longlife 98, Ford WSS-M2C 913-B, etc.? Or am I just being silly?
Thanks for the stir-fry tip!

Why Palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other plant oils?
All oils can be split into 3 fatty acids and glycerin and all oils contain a mixture of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. As a rule-of-thumb, oils from animals are mainly saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Plant oils are primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Coconut oil has the highest percentage of saturated fats of all the oils. It contains 87% saturated (SAT), 6% monounsaturated (MUFA), and 2% polyunsaturated (PUFA). Palm oil is 36% SAT, 49% MUFA, and 14% PUFA.
Beef fat is 50% SAT, 42% MUFA, and 4% PUFA. Butter is 63% SAT, 26% MUFA, and 4% PUFA. Pork fat is 39% SAT, 45% MUFA, and 11% PUFA.
Olive oil is 14% SAT, 72% MUFA, and 10% PUFA.
Vegetable oils have a much higher percentage of PUFA. For example, corn oil has 13% SAT, 28% MUFA, and 55% PUFA. Flaxseed oil is 9% SAT, 20% MUFA, and 66% PUFA.
