Diesel fuel is generally lighter than motor oil. Diesel typically has a density of around 0.85 to 0.87 grams per cubic centimeter, while motor oil can range from 0.85 to 0.95 grams per cubic centimeter, depending on its formulation and viscosity. Therefore, while there can be some overlap, motor oil is often heavier than diesel.
