You could test that rather easily at home by placing a drop of oil on a bar of soap as well as an equal drop of water and checking for sofening after say 15 minutes. Of course there are many kinds of oil but only one kind of ordinary water. I'd bet on the water because water dissolves almost everything. Actually grease is a mixture of soap and oil but I believe that you must melt the soap to mix it with the oil. Soap is in fact saponified oil (oil treated with an alkali). Perhaps hot oil would beat cold water. But dissolving and mechanically mixing are two very different processes. Good luck.Fact will water desolve a bar of soap quiker th than oil?
Soap is a base
Oil is a base
Water is more acidic
So I think that soap will dissolve quicker in water than in oil.
