It has a coating that high heat will burn off, wipe it away after and you are done.
Some folks use food grade flax oil, some grapeseed oil and give it a wipe.
Do not use Olive oil or some such.

I rub veg oil on mine and put in oven at 500 till it starts smoking good then take it out and wipe it off with a paper towel. If its really bigger than oven do it on stove top.

Is it new and has never been seasoned? If it is truly cast iron then I would really like to see a picture. I don't think I have ever seen a cast Iron Wok before.

Got one of these from Lodge:

Yea, it is heavy, strictly outdoor use - wife freaks when I put CI on the glass cooktop in our kitchen. Came preseasoned and I just keep it up , I use peanut oil to wipe down after cooking while it cools.
If it won't fit in your oven, maybe one of your cookers, running a little hot? Both of the videos were good, but I would not wash CI w/ hot soapy water unless I'm totally restoring CI. Lodge has CI seasoning & care on their website.

Cast iron woks are great. Best to season it on a hot fire.
