Yes, because: like (generally) dissolves like: a polar substance (where there is a difference in charge across the molecule), such as water, (H2O), where the oxygen atom is slightly negative and the hydrogen atoms will be slightly positive, will dissolve other polar substances. A non-polar substance, that has no difference in charge, will dissolve/ be dissolved by another non-polar substance.

Wax and oil are both non-polar, therefore wax can be dissolved in oil.
