No, soap is not soluble in oil. Soap is hydrophilic, meaning it is soluble in water, but not in oils or other nonpolar substances.

Why is oil soluble in soap and water mixtures?

It's really not.

Allowed to sit undisturbed, the mixture will eventually separate --- something that doesn't happen with solutions.

The primary fatty acid of coconut oil is laureate, a 12 carbon chain.

Beef fat which is also used to make soap is primarily stearic acid (18 carbons). Melting points are 44 vs 69 C.
