Cut it out of the fur, it's too difficult to get that much cooking oil out of the coat, even with a good dog shampoo. Source: my double coated dog likes to eat used frying oil.
The older of the two wasn't too terribly dirty, and he's been shedding, so he's basically let me just pluck most of the sappy fur off of him, and he loves water and brushies, so he might get a proper shampoo bath soon.
The younger one is a bit more skiddish when it comes to trying to clean him up though. He's friendly and all, but to try to even brush him, he'll run away after like 10 seconds or so.
That's great! I'm glad, I make my dog endure baths by putting chunks of a high value treat, like cheese, in the tub. It sinks a bit, he approaches the tub to check it out, into the water he goes, he gets soggy cheese continuously while I scrub him. Win/win.
I managed to wash both of them with hand sanitizer, a cheap hair brush, and some paper towels today.
They seem like they've never had a better day in their life!
put peanut butter on the wall for him to lick while standing in the tub!
"Cooking oil"? Did we both read different words from the same post...?
I suspect that they're talking about using cooking oil to remove the sap, which is a thing.

Then you use detergent to remove the oil.

The soap and shampoo being talked about on Reddit and this site respectively to remove the oil just being detergent.
Precisely, I would use oil as a last resort, as it is difficult to wash out of dense fur or a double coat.
Indeed, cooking oil and pine sap are two completely different things.
