Pauline, there is a slight difference between Canola and ordinary oil, but that 
does still matter when calculating the lye/water in your recipe.  I have posted 
the site to download the calculator.

How about using 400ml Canola oil instead of Olive oil which is expensive.  What 
does Theresa Lott's recommends for Lye and water?

For
Palm 30 gms
Coconut 30 grams
Olive oil 40 grams

Theresa Lott's calc advises for the above

15.29g Lye         ( 5% superfat  14.53g)
35.90g Water    (5% superfat  35.90g)

I have always found for a basic soap, keep your Coconut and Olive similar 
amounts and Palm about double.  That has always worked for me so to speak. then 
once you have mastered your Basic soap....play around!!
