I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say "shitty" oil. Canola is a better option than olive oil, but for high temperature cooking I use soybean oil. When cooking with cast iron you're not looking for flavor from the oil, you're looking for performance.
I've started using ghee as my high-heat oil. Very tasty, easy to make at home, and ver high smoke point.
