Best Answer

1-Oils are liquid whereas grease are semi solid.

2- Grease are not affected by extreme temperatures, so they are commonly used in tools, machines and equipments. Oil, in room temperature, is liquid when subjected to extremely low temperatures, and tends to evaporate when subjected to extremely high temperatures. Oil is used by people in cooking, personal grooming, lubrication and so much more.

3-The viscosity of oil is low as compared to that of grease

4-Oil is extracted from animal fat, plant or crude oils. Grease is made up by mixing oil and thickener agent.
