Carbon Tetra-chloride is a rather nonreactive substance. Very rarely will it dissolve, only happening at high temperatures. However, that does not mean it is without its uses. Before the advent the modern fire extinguisher it was used to put out fires. Not only that but it can also be used a very effective solvent for certain chemicals. Carbon Tetra-chloride is rarely used anymore for many things since it has severe health affects such as liver damage.

Why will ethanol dissolve in water but carbon tetrachloride will not?
Ethanol is polar, and so is water. "Like dissolves like," so those two liquids will be miscible, meaning they will dissolve each other. Carbon tetrachloride, meanwhile, is non-polar. Its intermolecular forces are incompatible with water's, so polar water will not be able to dissolve it.
Does oil dissolve in carbon tetrachloride?
Carbon tetrachloride dissolves oils and also other components like fats, and grease very well. This property makes carbon tetrachloride very useful for cleaning manufactured parts.
