Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.

No, water has more density than oil. If something denser than water(Eg=Iron) is dropped to water, it sinks, while less denser will float. Oil floats on water. Really I've tested it
