Yes. Dietary cholesterol levels have only a modest impact on blood cholesterol levels, whereas saturated fats increase cholesterol synthesis in the liver. Limit your saturated fat and cholesterol intake as part of a sensible diet to reduce your risk of heart attack and stoke.

Is oil a saturated or unsaturated fat?

It may be either, though it is often unsaturated. Oil in this context usually means a triglyceride which is liquid at room temperature, and fats are solid at room temperature. Unsaturation tends to be associated with a lower melting point, but there are other factors which affect this too. Most oils are mixtures of compounds anyway. So sunflower oil is highly unsaturated, but coconut oil is largely saturated.
