Yes.
All colloids are suspensions but not all suspensions are colloids.
A colloidal suspension consists of particles small enough that they will not settle out of the material in which they are suspended.
Oil can be emulsified with a surfactant e.g., detergent to form an emulsion, a type of colloidal suspension. An example of this form of oil/water mixture is mayonnaise.
Homogenization of the butterfat (oil) in milk prevents the butterfat from layering out as you would see in un-homogenized (straight from the cow) milk.
Compare those two systems (mayonnaise and milk) to Italian dressing. No matter how hard or long you shake the bottle, in a short time the oil rises to the top. For a time, the oil was suspended but the droplet size never approached the size needed to form a colloid. See what happens if you put a drop of dishwashing detergent in the bottle of dressing before you shake it...but, don't put it on your salad.

Is oil in salad dressing a suspension colloid or solution?
Oil-based paints tend to separate into layers over time. The pigment molecules are suspended in a solvent of linseed oil and mineral spirits. Oil-based paints are suspensions. Water-based paints such as latex paint are colloids.
Is oil and vinegar an element compound heterogeneous mixture solution or colloid?
Oil and vinegar form a heterogeneous mixture.
Why is mayonnaise considered a colloid?
Mayonnaise is an emulsion of vinegar and oil. The emulsifier is egg yolk. An emulsion is defined as the mixture of two immiscible liquids in which one is suspended in the other in microscopic droplets. A colloid is not specifically two liquids, it could be a solid evenly distributed throughout a liquid but not in solution.

Is syrup a colloid a suspension or a homogeneous?
Syrup is a homogeneous mixture: it is made of several compounds (water, sugars, flavorings) and is of a uniform composition throughout.If the syrup contained particles or solids (like the peanuts in chunky peanut butter) or if it separated itself into layers (the way oil and water does), it would no longer be homogeneous; it would be heterogeneous.
