Frying liquid (3)

I believe the answer is:

oil

'frying liquid' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for oil that I've seen before include "Anoint" , "Viscous substance for lubrication" , "eg Olive" , "Thick liquid that doesn't dissolve in water" , "Lubricant or petroleum" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Sun, The Star Tribune, the LA Times, the Newsday.com, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post and the Universal.
