Edit: In CA, they had to go with water soluble stain many years ago. I bought my first when it was oil based. Although I used the water soluble around a decade ago on my patio, it has held up really well. However, if I had the choice, I'd try to find the oil base in a state it's available in. You might have to get somebody to buy it for you & send it to you if it isn't available in your state.
