Is oil a polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Is oil a polar molecule or a nonpolar molecule? Additionally, could you explain the characteristics that determine its polarity?

An oil can apply to any material that is not solid or a wax. So what I have to assume is that you are referring to a hydrocarbon, and those are non-polar.
Non-polar! That is why it does not dissolve in water. Water is polar and like dissolves like.
