Can this be used in my mix?

I have a restaurant offering me this wvo and as a beginner I don't want to agree on picking up something that I will not have a use for.

Thanks for helping out a newbie!

Lucky you, canola is the best!

Really I was worried about it being shortening, since a friend of mine had mentioend to stay away from shortenings..I shrugged off his comment and came directly here for "real" answers.

Shortenings make good summer bio.

Canola "liquid shortening" will make fine biodiesel and will get you a fairly decent gel point as well, unlike most other partly hydrogenated oils.
Of course you could tell them down the road that liquid canola is better as it contains no transfats as the shortening does, so it's healthier for their clients (and you get really good oil for all your trouble)
