The term density has the same meaning when applied to motor oil that it has in any other context. It means weight divided by volume, or in other words, for a given volume of substance, how heavy is it?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Density of liquids is often compared to that of water. Motor oils, have various densities based upon the additives used in them as well as whether they are synthetic or mineral oils. You will find the densities of different oils will typically fall between 0.72 and 0.87 specific gravity at 60 degrees F compared to water at 60 degrees F. As oils (and water) are heated (or cooled) their densities change accordingly. Some oils are actually heavier than water and will sink, but these are usually special types.

What is the density of mineral oil?
The density of mineral oil typically ranges from 0.8 to 0.87 grams per cubic centimeter at room temperature.
What is the density of garlic oil?
The density of garlic oil is typically around 0.882 grams per milliliter at room temperature. However, this can vary slightly depending on the specific composition and temperature of the oil.
What is the density of heavy fuel oil bunker at 15 degrees Celsius?
The density of heavy fuel oil bunker at 15 degrees Celsius typically ranges from 0.95 to 1.03 grams per cubic centimeter, depending on its composition and grade. It is important to consult the specific technical data sheet or supplier for the exact density of the particular product in use.
What is the density of vegitable oil?
According to http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml, the average density of cooking oils at approximately room temperature varies from 0.91 g/cm^s to 0.93 g/cm^3, depending on the precise temperature and the type of oil. For comparison, the density of water is 1.00 g/cm^3 at 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 Fahrenheit), but at room temperature (20 Celsius, or 68 Fahrenheit) the density of water decreases to 0.9982 g/com^3 (from http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_water.htm).
How is the density of oil an advantage in the cleanup?
The density of oil is less than the density of water (which is about 1.0 g/mL). So the two liquids will stratify and create layers based on their comparative densities. Since oil is less dense than water, oil will rise to the surface and can easily be taken out. To test this, you could put water in a bowl or a pot, then put in some cooking oil (it doesn't matter what kind). You will see for yourself that the oil remains on the surface of the water, because it is less dense.

Will oil make an object float or sink?
It depends on the density of the object and the density of the oil. If the object has a higher density than the oil, it will sink. If the object has a lower density than the oil, it will float.
What is the density of oil in kg m3?
The density of oil is 820 kg/m3.
Why do egg float on oil?
Because eggs have a lower density than oil! Density is the mass divided by volume.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Which type of oil has the greatest density?
The oil with the greatest density is a motor oil with a high viscosity, which is a resistance to flow. A lower density oil would be one that is like SAE 20.
Does oil or water have the lower density?
Oil
Describe the density of the vinegar compared to the density of the oil?
....
Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
How you can convert Density of Crude oil into specific Gravity?
The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).
Will diamonds float in oil?
No. For their size, diamonds are heavy and will not float.
Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?
No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.
