The use or non-use of the article does not indicate different types of oil.  In 
Spanish recipes, "aceite" without any qualifier always means olive oil.  If 
there was a second kind of oil, then it would be identified, eg., "aceite de 
almendras" (almond oil).

See my response to Jadwiga for my opinion on the meaning of "boiled again".
