No, it's the air volume on each item. For example, a balloon filled with air will surely float on the water, but a ballon filled with water will not float. That's because there is no air in the second one and that makes it even heavier.

Why do things sink or float in oil?

Things sink or float in oil based on their density. Objects that are less dense than the oil will float, while objects that are denser will sink. This is due to Archimedes' principle - an object will float if the weight of the fluid it displaces is equal to or greater than its own weight.
