Maybe a better word is miscible.

From the Ballistol website:
=============================================

Can you mix Ballistol with water?
Since Ballistol emulsifies with water, mix one part Ballistol and two parts water to make one of the best black powder solvents available.
=============================================


It's called the Ouzo Effect <-Wiki Link


When used on damp steel. the oil penetrates the water, coats the steel and the water lifts off the surface, where it evaporates.
