it will, unless the specific gravity of the ball is greater that the oil, if it is, it will sink. But I doubt that it is

Does a rubber band float?
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.

Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Why does a rubber ball float in water?
This might be best determined by experiment. While natural rubber is slightly denser than water and will sink, there will be some small amount of air trapped in a rubber band ball, reducing the density to some extent. Attempting to model and calculate the air content seems somewhat impractical without experimental data, and if you are going to experiment anyway, why not just find the answer directly?
Why do rocks sink and rubber balls float in a swimming pool?
Whether an object sinks or floats depends on the objects buyoncy. If an object has a higher buoyancy then water it will generally sink, and less it will float.
Do car tires sink or float?
no, a car tire will sink immediately after hitting the surface. The density of the rubber disallows the tire from floating.
Do racquetballs float?
When filled or partly filled with air, tennis balls will float. However, some of the materials in them are heavier than water. If the air is removed, some tennis balls may sink in water, as do rubber tires.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Why does a ball float and a stone sink?
Something will sink if it is heaver than the same volume of water, so it depends on the density of the ball. Rock is denser than water so stones sink. However, depending on what a ball is made of it may or may not be heavier than the same volume of water. For example a golf ball is denser than water so it sinks, but a ping-pong ball is lighter and will float.
