Density has nothing to do with the amount of the liquid because it is a measure of mass divided by volume. So, the same substance will always have the same density no matter how much you have (because when volume increases mass increases also). Therefore, your question is whether oil is ever denser than vinegar, and the answer, generally, is no. This is why you have to shake oil and vinegar salad dressings before you use them to mix the contents together -- the oil otherwise settles on top.

Just for verification, however, I've looked up some the densities: Apple cider vinegar has a density of 1.01 g/ml (just above water). The density of olive oil is about 0.9 g/ml.

Yes, olive oil floats on vinegar. Check it out for yourself--get a bottle of French dressing out of the refrigerator.

This question was later changed,

Vinegar (about 97% water) is denser than some oils because the molecules pack tighter together. Oils that are denser than water are called tar.

The density of a material is defined as the mass per unit volume (or specific weight) of the material. Under standard conditions, denser materials are typically less buoyant, and a mixture of immiscible fluids will separate into distinct phases where the less dense fluid floats on denser fluids.

Based on the definition pf density, one way to find out the densities of milk, oil, and vinegar relative to one another is to pour these fluids into a container and let the different fluids settle into discrete layers. However, milk and vinegar will probably mix into a single phase, so you might want to pour milk and oil into one container and vinegar and oil in another.

The experiment above will show that milk is the densest of the three fluids, followed by vinegar, with oil being the least dense fluid of the three.

Oil is more dense than vinegar. Most vinegar has the consistency of water. Pure virgin olive oil is some of the lightest and least dense of oils.

Vinegar has a greater density than oil does. When poured into the same container the oil will sit on top of the vinegar.

Why does vingerar and oil separate?

vinegar and oil separate because the oil has a lighter density than the vinegar therefore the oil would float so you can freeze it and they would be on different levels the oil would be above the vinegar. you could spoon out the oil and there you go oil and vinegar separated. for anyone who doesn't know, the word density means how heavy something is for its size.
