Sorry to say, but corn oil, soybean oil, most margerine, peanut oil,
and virtually any other oil is NOT kosher for passover.  The only oils
that I know of which are kosher for Passover are safflower and olive
oil.  The latter should be avoided except in limited amounts since
it is VERY high in saturated fats (not the polyunsaturated variety).
