Does it matter where I get my olive oil from or what type it is for my lotions? If I have Full Circle extra virgin organic olive oil, will that be a good one to use?

why olive oil?

No specific reason really. I just use olive oil a lot. Why? Would it be better to use another kind?

Olive oil's a pretty heavy oil. So too much of it can leave a greasy feeling on your skin.

Forgot to say, it would be hard to suggest an oil without knowing what you're looking for in the lotion.
But in answer to your first question, that olive oil should work.

Regular olive oil should work. It is a "heavy" oil and might feel greasy on the skin. I prefer other, more "lightweight" oils instead.

I don't like the greasy feeling either. What's a good light oil?

I have some coconut oil that I've had for a year. Is it still good to use and will it still have all the benefits?

It's been in a drawer the whole time.

No. But it was in a drawer for a year and then on the counter for the past week. What would it smell like if it had gone bad
