Does oil expand when frozen?

by 'the law of non-compress ability of liquid' a liquid can neither be compressed nor be expanded. Between 3'C and 0'C water does expand with a decrease in temperature. Water at 3'C is the densest; water at 0'C is the lightest. This is the only interval for Ice I on which it expands with decreasing temperature.
