what type of chili is this?

It is Sichuan chili, as the name indicates. It is the type typically found in many types of Asian cooking. Medium heat, nice flavour. Great fore making chili oil, and crispy chili garlic.

Are the peppers fried prior to crushing?

Pepper is sun dried but not fried. Thank you very much.

What kind of vegetable oil is used? The Amazon page lists rapeseed (canola), but the package lists vegetable oil, which is usually soy.

The ingredients listed on the Authentic Sichuan Chili Flakes 8 ounce-medium hot package are: Chili, Vegetable oil.

What are the scoville heat units measurements for these medium hot and hot products?

If you google the question, sichuan peppers should be 50,000 to 75,000 scoville units (although answers vary). I would have been happy if the peppers available here were even close to that, but what I got seemed way less (not even as hot as cayenne) and were a disappointment.
