No.Only water and soap can be mixed together.Because,soap is the sodium or potassium salt of higher fatty acids.So,it will dissolve in water.Oil is an ester of glycerol with higher fatty acids and sodium or potassium salts of acids are generally insoluble in organic solvents.Esters are immiscible with water.Therefore,in the mixture of water,soap and oil,soap will dissolve in water and pure oil will float on water.
