Will oil base paint stick to latex paint?

I'm not too sure, but it probably says on the can. I have used both latex and oil based paint; and I can't stand oil-based paint. It's more difficult to work with than with latex paint.

The paint drips off the brush before you get it to the wall because the the paint is oily. Imagine painting with motor oil. It's almost that bad. I'll never use oil based paint again. its nothing like painting with motor oil, more like molasses I have been painting house's/ skyscrapers/oil rigs for over 25 years. & yes you can use oil base paint over latex, 1st you scruff the existing paint with sand paper, then dust, put 1 coat of primer(Kilz primer is the best I have found to use) over latex paint a lite coat will do. let dry & now your free to start painting.
