Physical. Anything that can be separated by physical means is a physical change, and you can separate oil from vinegar by skimming it off the top. You are also not making a new substance. In order to have a chemical reaction occur you must produce a new substance, not just a mixture. For example, vinegar and baking soda will produce carbon dioxide gas.
