Water is considered 'the' universal solvent because more materials are dissolved by it than by any other solvent but it will not dissolve non-polar substances like oil. Water is very polar; which is why many of its properties are different from nearly all substances, such as water's high melting and boiling points, high surface tension, and why it expands when frozen.
